HAPPY THANKSGIVING! 

So thankful

We are so thankful for a healthy daughter who has one of the biggest hearts we know!  We gave her an early birthday gift... a Baby Alive doll!  Oh.my.goodness----she is so stinkin' adorable playing "mommy!"  And, when we are all playing, she makes Daddy be "big brother" and I am "big sister!"  It is so fun watching her interact and take care of her baby (named Kaitlyn).  This confirms that she is going to be a wonderful helper and "BIG SISTER!"  We are more and more excited about getting "the call" and seeing this all unfold FOR REAL!!!

She loves her baby!

Look, we make food for her to eat...yummy pears!

She makes cute sounds when she eats her food!

Uh-oh...after she ate she had a poopy diaper!

She thought it was so funny when I told her that she used to have poopy diapers! 

Marin's 6th birthday party!

Woof!  Woof!  It's a party at Marin's dog house!  Brooke was so excited to celebrate with Marin for her birthday party on Saturday evening.  She is 6 years old, time is flying by!!  Happy Birthday Marin!

Enjoying some cake!

Can you tell Brooke loves her cousin?!?

Grandpa and his girls!

Opening presents!

Being an Aunt is special.  I love you Marin!

Cousins...I hope they will be friends forever! 

Happy Feet 2

This evening we went to the movies to see HAPPY FEET 2.  It was so cute.  All 3 of us went together.  Usually Mommy falls asleep while watching movies, instead Brooke and Daddy dozed off!!   I cried through parts of it, such a touching story...it made me think about how precious family is and how important it is to instill the value of helping others, whether they are family or not.  Sticking together...this was even part of the message in church today while studying the book of Ruth- chapter 3.
