PJ parties...one down...two to go!

i guess the new christmas rage for kids is to have pj parties, cause every christmas party that we have gone to or we are going to--every kid is supposed to wear their pjs....so, out with kids dressing up pretty for christmas and in with every kid wearing pjs at odd times of the day! i think that it is a really cute idea, but kendall on the other hand, thinks it is bizarre. this is the kid who never likes to do anything out of order (it must mess with her brain or something), so the idea of wearing your pjs during daylight hours and going to a party in them is really throwing her off.....but, i convinced her that 'everyone is doing it' and off we went to the first party....of course, brooke had matching pjs (so cute!!)

kendall actually had a cute hat to go along with her pjs and here are her exact words on it "i will wear those horrible pjs, but i am definitely not wearing that hat!" but since brooke still doesn't know better, she wore the hat--and i loved every minute of it!

so here we are decorating cookies and let me tell you, brooke does not miss a beat anymore---if kendall is doing it, she better be doing it too--i decided that letting her decorate a cookie might be awful, so i just threw some sprinkles down for her and she was just as happy!

here they are while they were reading the story of baby jesus....

and of course brooke standing.....cause that's what she does!

umm...what?? oh yea, brooke waving..

here is a clip of michael trying to get brooke to wave...

and take two.....

and yes, brooke does have clothes.....i just like her better this way!!

oh...i could listen to this all day!

here is a clip of brooke laughing at kendall....music to my ears!!!

what kendall is thankful for......

just because it is a little hard to hear.....

kendall is thankful for everything....she is thankful for her house, the lamp, her church, outside, playhouses, parks and drinks and that's it....

so there you have it! what are you thankful for?

look at me!

so brooke is now all over the place..i tried hard to keep her in one spot, but those days are over! even though she can crawl all over the house, her favorite thing to do is stand up...on anything...and she does it for such long periods of time. she will pull up on something and just stand there for 20 minutes. suits me fine, i know when she has found something to stand with, she will be there for a while! i think she thinks she is more like kendall when she is this way. here she is just standing on the coffee table watching kendall play with barbies.

you got a fire....i got the girl

kendall got a fire fighter hat a little while ago and just about every afternoon she wants me to pretend i am stuck in a fire and she comes running in and puts it out.......her is a clip of her fire fighting skills.....

ok, so maybe it would be best if you did not rely on her in the case of a real fire....little clumsy, little crazy--yea!

do you know how blessed you are?

so, today i was shopping with brooke and while i was looking around an older lady came up to me and was looking at brooke and brooke was smiling at her......she commented on how cute she thought brooke was and then she said something i have heard before, but for some reason i really listened this time.......she said 'do you know how blessed you are to have her?' i said yes, but really thought about it for a long time and still keep thinking about it. i started to wonder 'do i REALLY know how blessed i am?' sometimes it is so easy to take it all for granted. so, my question for you today is.......DO YOU KNOW HOW BLESSED YOU ARE?........think about it. you will be glad you did!
