It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!

This last week has been a pretty miserable one for this little lady:( She woke up from her nap on Monday morning covered in puke - thankfully I think she had just done it and didn't sleep in it! Then we had to take the kiddos to their well-child check-ups.  Both kiddos are doing great, yay!!! But, little miss has been throwing up all week long.  I got her little bug on Thursday night and was pretty sick, so I feel even worse then I already did, for her.  Just praying that the boys don't catch it and that we are all better before Christmas!

Brilee loves the little people nativity set, she will bring you baby Jesus or any of the animals you ask for by name - but she hasn't quite figured out who the wise men are yet:)

 I found a super great idea on pinterest for the month.  You wrap up 24 books, even if they are books you already have, and as many Christmas ones as you can get. I got a bunch from the dollar store and the dollar bins at Target. Each night before bed, the kids(and by kids I mean Brennar!) get to unwrap any book they chose and we read it for their bedtime story.  This is Brennar on the first night, it took him about 3 days to understand that we get 1 a day and only at bedtime.  But, now he just loves it!

 I am in love with this picture of Brilee

 And Brilee is in love with her daddy:)

 Brennar has finally figured out that if he closes his eyes the flash of the camera won't blind him, great for him, bummer for me and my crazy picture-taking obsession

 I played dress up with Brilee, trying to figure out what Christmas dress I wanted her to wear...have I mentioned how fun a little girl is!!!

 Brennar wanted in on the action, but he wouldn't try on his Christmas clothes

 Isn't she a doll?!?!

And the winner is????? Stay tuned to find out!

Wrapping up November

 We spent the end of November in Montana with my family for Thanksgiving, we all had a great time. Brennar went in the hot tub almost every night with my dad, now he is asking for one in his own backyard:)  We also took the kids of Bozeman to the Museum of the Rockies, there wasn't quite as many dinosaurs as I had remembered but I think they both liked it.
Of course, I didn't take my camera out of my suitcase once:(  But here are a few from home

Brilee is obsessed with phones..."hewoo, hewoo, ko-ko" that's what I hear 20 times a day

 Brennar asked to get a picture of him hugging his sister:)

 I finally finished our family stockings (I started them when I was pregnant with Brennar) but, I love the way they turned out!

 My little princess

And of course some stair shots - both the kids climb up and down the stairs over and over all day long -  I just sit at the bottom and watch:)

Picture Extravaganza!!!!

 My little lady's 1 year pictures... I am in love!!!

 And, our family pictures!! As many probably noticed, they are almost exactly like our picture 2 years ago.  I asked if we could do them in the very same place because I loved it so much the first time:)

We had to get them done a week before I really wanted to, I was a little bummed because I wanted all the leaves to be changing and didn't know if they would (which they were) but, God works in wonderful ways, if we would have waited, our sweet little angel baby, Bella Faith, wouldn't have been in my tummy still and I would never have had a picture of all 5 of us!!!!!

 LOVE them all!
