Winter ONEderland! Brenna's First Birthday!

Brenna's first birthday was perfect!  It was a winter ONEderland theme so we had lots and lots of snowflakes on the inside of St. Sue but no snow on the outside!  Therefore, most of our closest friends and family made it to celebrate with her.  She was such a trooper and loved her cake and all of her presents.  I can hardly believe that her first birthday has already come.  Time is flying by!  She has five teeth - working on six.  She is almost walking - she will take three or four steps and then quickly sit down.  She loves to say "MaMa, DaDa, BubBub and NahNah (her Ninnie).  She loves playing with her doll babies and she loves to try to play with Remi.  She has also started clapping, growling (thanks Jason) and dancing.  She is such a joy!

Christmas 2014

Brenna's First Christmas was so much fun!  She was so excited for presents (well, mostly paper and boxes!)  She got quite a few babies and loves being their "MaMa" as she says! The boys also had a great Christmas!  Drew woke up a little crabby (probably because we didn't get home until 1:00 a.m.) but was super excited once he saw that Santa came!

Daddy got Conner and Drew a new RZR for Christmas!  They LOVE IT!

And of course, he got Brenna her first 4-wheeler!!!  She too is enjoying riding around!

MawMaw and PawPaw got the boys metal detectors as one of their gifts.  They are always out treasure hunting when the weather is nice!

50 Pounds

Conner has been weighing himself weekly for the past three years.  All with the hope that he would weigh 50 pounds so that he could go hunting from a deer stand.  Well, it finally happened - he weighed in at 50 and the first thing he asked was to go out in the deer stand!  Now, Drew is on a weekly watch praying for that lucky number 50 to show up on the scale!

Christmas Cheer!

Getting ready for Christmas...Brenna's FIRST Christmas!

Oh, Christmas Tree

We found another perfect Christmas tree this year.  Yes, it is too big for our house.  Yes, we had to move all of the furniture.  Yes, the star is crooked because we can reach the top and, Yes, it is full of loom bracelets made into garland and most ornaments are made out of playdoh or Popsicle sticks - but Yes, it is perfect!  We love going to cut down our tree each year.  I especially love it when the sun is shining and the kids can run around without their coats!  Brenna was crawling everywhere - so much so that the knees of her white tights were brown.  The boys ran and ran and helped cut down the tree!  I love making these perfect memories!

Brenna's First Thanksgiving!

 Our little foodie girl LOVED Thanksgiving!  Green beans were her favorite, of course!  I can't believe that she is almost one!  Time is flying by too quickly!
