We're Back!

Wow, I can't believe it's been almost 2 months since my last post! Here are a few pics taken over the last few months and we're officially back on the blog!

Each class at Brooklynn's school replicated art work from a famous Latin American artist for the school's annual Student Art Exhibition. Brooklynn's class replicated 20th Century Mexican Masters by Mexican artist Rufino Tamayo. It literally took weeks for the students to complete their pieces. Personally, I think Brooklynn's is a masterpiece!

Wordless Wednesday - "Superstar!"

Bears and Pink Tutus

Yesterday my mom and I took the girls for a fun filled day of Build a Bear, a visit wih Santa, and lunch. The girls had a great time building their bears. My mom and I were physically and mentally drained after we left! Keeping up with three little girls in a place like Build a Bear is truly exhausting. However, we took a few minutes to regroup and moved on down the mall to Santa. The girls made a special request early on during the day for pink tutus. So after a quick trip to the fabric store I commenced to making three pink tutus.

In line at Build a Bear, "I'm so excited!"

Santa and the Girls

We were finally able to get a Santa picture this year!!! With the help of her cousins, Brooklynn sat with Santa (kinda). Actually, she wanted nothing to do with Santa but she was willing to sit with her big cousin Jayla. Here's the picture.  Needless to say "Nana" and "Papa" think it's priceless! :)

Holiday Pictures

We've dressed up the blog for the holidays!!!! Don't you just love it!!! Thanks, Lindsay (Splat Designs)!

This year I decided to do Brooklynn's Christmas pictures at home in front of our tree. I think we did pretty good. Brooklynn was a good sport and cooperated (with the help of a few Skittles) really well. Here are a few of the good ones.

For some reason, as soon as I saw this sign I thought of my little girl. :)


Merry Christmas!

"I'm done mommy, no more pictures!"

A Trip to the Zoo

Over the Thanksgiving holiday we too Brooklynn to visit the Fort Worth Zoo. What a great zoo!!! We had a great time and Brooklynn loved everything about it!

Let the Holidays Begin!

Tonight we took Brooklynn to a local shopping center for their Tee Lighting and Santa Arrival. Brooklynn was so excited to be a part of all the festivities. Her favorite part was seeing the reindeer, she loved them! Although Santa's arrival was a little past Brookie's bed time, she had a great time visiting with Mrs. Claus.
