Santa visit

Brooklyn and I went to visit Santa at the mall last week. She was a happy camper 3 seconds before and 3 seconds after seeing him, but was TERRIFIED while on his lap...which made for some awesome pictures!

Here they are seconds before Santa

Merry Christmas to all!

Consoling each other after the ordeal

All smiles again
I just thought this was a funny picture!

More Gymboree fun!


Brooklyn has had 2 more Gymboree classes and is starting to really show off her creative talents. She is the ham of the class too, which I think is so funny since the other kids are 2 and 3 years old. She loves talking while she creates and watching just how the other kids do things. And she can finally finish all of her goldfish by the time the story is over! Small victories!

Not much has been going on around here. My crazy headaches are finally under control with the help of some steroids. Hopefully they keep working their magic and we can be pain free in a couple weeks, although I've had enough of their side effects already! I feel crazy, exhausted but can't sleep, hungry all the time and ready to break down at the slightest bit of adversity! But at least I can remember what happens throughout the day, which is more than I can say for the past month on pain meds! I pretty much slept through Thanksgiving, I think!

We went to a Christmas tree lighting at a nearby mall a couple weeks ago...it's all a little hazy to me! Good thing the camera remembers which day the pictures were taken!

Apparently a single bloodshot eye comes along with the headaches I had. Tell me that doesn't make your eyes water! I'm crying right now just looking at it! So gross!

But Brooklyn looks so cute in her hat!

Now it's Christmas time and the fall decorations are still on display at the house! Hopefully we'll get our Christmas tree up before too long. Brooklyn has already demonstrated her ability to take ornaments off of random trees we've seen, so we'll be placing them just above her reach! We're also planning a trip to go see Santa, so I'm excited to see her reaction this year! I have a feeling we'll either get a screaming gal or sticking her tongue out. That's her new thing when you take a picture of her. Lovely!
