Well, Thanksgiving weekend is officially over. It's CHRISTMAS time!! Brooke, Jeff and I decorated the house on Saturday (all except for decorating the tree...we will need to wait and finish one night this week after Brooklynn is asleep).

Today, Brooke and I went shopping for a bit and she talked me into buying her a new pair of jeans. She said they made her diaper look smaller, so of course I had to get them. Then we came home and played the rest of the night. She was worn out by 7pm and fell fast asleep (that was until she woke up with an upset tummy at 9pm). But finally after a few laps around the living room and lots of yawns, back to bed she went. I think she really woke up to say goodnight to daddy (he went to the Titans game tonight).

These last four days have been wonderful. Being able to spend the whole Thanksgiving break with her was incredible. She is so curious, clever and incredibly sweet. She loves giving kisses and hugs, and when she wraps her little legs around you and hugs you tight with both arms wrapped around your neck, there isn't anything better in the world. Mom tried to explain what it was like, but she said I wouldn't understand until I had my own daughter...and she was right, I can't even put into words how much we love her.

Today she said hello, blue and Hi Mom. She knows two new sounds: cow and lion. She was standing in the kitchen by herself, until she realized it...then the legs started to get wobbly :) She starts her first full week of school tomorrow since she was in the ER 3 weeks ago. Should be fun getting her up bright and early tomorrow morning.

We hope everyone had a great weekend!

Christy, Jeff and Brooke
