celebrating brooke's big birthday....

brooke had a wonderful birthday weekend. her grammy, papa, becca and cousins came in from houston to help her celebrate. she is now very fond of cake and points to it every time that she sees any now! here are some photos from the weekend of fun.

brooke is one!!!!!

cry or be excited.....those are the emotions that i feel today! it is so fun to watch them grow up and so sad that it happens so fast. the first year of a baby's life flies by.

i took some pictures today of her with cake!! to see them:

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?
