Brielle eating - for those who wanted to see it again!

Brooklyn eating

I love when I see similarities between Brielle and Brooklyn. This is one of them. She loves her food, just like Brielle, although I would say she is more picky by far.

Sleeping

I don't know if you remember my posts on Brielle's funny sleeping positions a couple of years ago. Well this is what happened when I got tired of trying to get Brooklyn to go to sleep and just let her cry it out one day. zzzz...sleeping against the Pack and Play (which she slept in for about a month until we transitioned to a crib).

This one is a little harder to see but she is basically kneeling down asleep against the side of it.
Here is the one of Brielle asleep against the side of her crib when she was around the same age. It makes her look like she has a mohawk by her position. She did have a lot more hair than Brooklyn does, for sure.

I love my sleeping angels.

Brielle's Fashion

Brielle definitely got my fashion sense.

Not so good unfortunately but I let her dress herself these days and these the outfits she came up with. In the above one, she has on Brooklyn's pants and a Halloween shirt.
The below one was my favorite. It was the end of December/first of January and she has on 4th of July shorts, a nice shirt and a princess hat.

That's my girl!

Best friends (and cousins), Ariah and Brielle

I love this picture. I realize you can't tell very well but they are in one of those bench storage seats where you can sit on it and then open and store toys or whatever in it. These two have so much fun together and love each other fiercely. It makes me smile and so very happy.

Mike has a mustache

What do you think? Do you love it?

Yeah neither did I. Luckily it only lasted about 1 hour. Phew!

Christmas

While we were in Illinois we had a small Christmas with my side of the family. It was fun to see all the kids opening presents and enjoying them. Chris and Lisa gave Mike and I this beautiful picture of the Salt Lake Temple where we were married and etched in the clouds a Christus and also our names, date and temple we were sealed in. What a great gift! Oh and Brooklyn is eating my shirt.

We were in charge of our Weight Family Christmas Party and did Polar Express theme. It was a lot of work because we had Cafe Rio for dinner (homemade) but it turned out really cute and I think everyone had a good time. Brielle was so excited to sit on Santa's lap and get a present.

Brooklyn didn't mind being on Santa's lap either. We had a great Christmas morning at home and then went up to Mike's dad's house for dinner. Brielle got a lot of books for Christmas and many other fun things, including a new trampoline which we will set up once it stops snowing.

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays and stopped to think about our Savior and the life he led and gave for us.
