Deck the Halls.... December 2009

Ok, so I'm FINALLY posting pictures from a great December!  Let's see... that month we made a trip to Tennessee to look at a house (the one we ended up buying!!! =) ), Brylee turned 7 months old, met Santa for the first time, we went to Berne, IN for Christmas, Sam had his company Christmas party in downtown Louisville, and Brylee tried baby food for the first time.

Brylee playing with her cookie jar.

Sam's company Christmas party.... Sam and Tony (an engineer from England)

Diana, Cocoras, Joey, Me, and Shaquia

Harry and Melissa.. he found a bow

Me and the hubs

Cocoras and me... I got one of the table games to take home!

My mom and Addy and Brylee

Brylee first eating sweet potatoes

Does she like it?

Yum Yum

Lol, what a cutie

Such a smiler =)

6 1/2 months old... starting to sit up pretty good! =)

My first attempt at a Christmas card picture

Then I switched to the present... this is what Brylee thought about it all

And I settled on this one =)

Meeting Santa

Brylee looks like she's in "fight or flight" mode

Cute =)

Kisses after Santa from me

Erin came down from Indy for a visit ... eating at one of my fav restaurants for lunch - California Pizza Kitchen

Brylee 7 MONTHS OLD!  Dad and Janie came up from Florida for the holidays

Brylee LOVED Rudy (their black lab)

Yah!  It's a toy bubble gum machine...

Ready for Berne!

Our Berne welcoming committee... Brylee always gets a lot of attention when we arrive =)

Helping Brylee open some presents

A dolly... but Brylee is more interested in the paper

MWUAH!

Ha... so true!

Lol, how cute!

No trip to Berne is complete without stopping at Cheeseburger in Paradise as we drive back to Louisville through Indy

Hey Blue eyes

Time to try carrots

Enough with the carrot torture!

Turkey Trot and other Thanksgiving stuff! November 2009

I know I know... but anyways, Brylee's asleep right now, so are you ready for some ADORABLE pictures of her from November??? =)

Brylee and I both fell asleep while feeding her a bottle.... I think Sammy was able to carry her to her crib without her waking up =)

Nov. 2, 2009

Out of all the laundry she was helping me fold... she goes after the glitter tank top =)

We'd been such hardworkers... look at that nicely folded stack of clothes

5 1/2 month old!

And this is how Sammy gets greeted at the door when he comes home from work

This was the month of RUNNING!  She was finally able to hold her head up good enough for the running stroller!

And she loved it! =)

All snuggled up in there

Time for church.... one of the few times in her life she's taken a pacifier!

After church kisses

From daddy too

Sleepy little girl

So... I put our Christmas decorations up before Thanksgiving this year.... Brylee loved the singing "Merry Christmas dog" after she got over being afraid of it! =)

In Tennessee... on our way to my early morning 5k Turkey Trot race at Turkey Creek

Seriously....I would have never woken up for this (we got in so late the night before) but I had already paid the entry fee

Brylee with her poofy outfit for Sam's family Thanksgiving... haha

Is that bow too big for her head? - 6 months and 2 days old!!!

I don't have pics from the day before (Sam's Uncle Don took tons of pictures)... but here's up in Gatlinburg, Brylee and Aunt Marvene

Playing with daddy

Brylee, Uncle Jeff, and Sarah

Roy and his grandkids

Back in Louisville... Brylee opening her first wrapped present - it was from Uncle Don and Aunt Marvene

Action shot

Yeah...a stroller for her baby dolls =)
