has gotten the best of me! Between Thanksgiving and the beginning of Christmas, I have yet to update our blog. As always, I uploaded everything out of order. Why would I change things, right?!
As the cold weather approaches, Brooks is wanting to be outside more and more. He knows that he needs his jacket and hood on, but doesn't mind as long as he is outside with Sam, his new best friend. I am finding it more difficult to keep this little guy busy and occupied. Therefore, I will be organizing the upstairs into his little play room after the holidays. Hopefully, this will keep all of us more sane!
We went to Lubbock in early November for Brooks to meet Hallie. After breaking several of Nana's vases, rearranging all her decorations, making a mess in the country club and breaking his aunt's camera, Brooks made his mark!
Tuff guy

Kissing cousin Hallie

"Really, how much longer do we have to do this?"

Brooks kept yelling "bye bye" to Santa. "Why are you making me sit on this creepy guy's lap, mom?"
Kisses from Kate (yes, we still have the monkey....aka "uh oh")
Brooks HAD to take his drill to Thanksgiving. Rhonda's foot had to be fixed, right?
And you see why we don't have a Christmas card! Brooks WOULD NOT cooperate....ughhh!
We tried it all!
Lots and lots of fun family time at Aunt Rhonda's house
Wrestling with Uncle Cullen
"Dad, can you not get this thing going?"
"Here, just let me figure it out."

Much better ride in the car now that Brooks can watch Elmo...."da da, ta da, da da, ta da....Elmo's World, Elmo's World" This song is in my head constantly, now!
