Brooke still loves going biking with Mommy. In fact, this Wednesday when the high was 40 degrees she insisted on going on a 30 minute bike ride at sunset. Even though her nose was super snotty from the cold every time I circled the house (which was often) she strongly said ‘No!’ and we did another lap of the neighborhood until we had to stop because it was dark. It was such a funny outing that I had to stop and take some pictures of us. Brooke as you can see was loving it.
Everyone knows how much Brooke loves her baby. She needed to take baby with her to a Christmas party we went to at a friends house this weekend. To prevent baby from getting left behind I put her in my purse when Brooke gave her up to eat some food. Brooke was playing with her friend Olivia and the other babies and then found this stroller just for dolls and started pushing it around empty. When I saw how cute she was I gave her back her baby to put in the stroller. She spent an hour pushing baby in the circle that was Melissa’s kitchen/entry/dinning room/living room. Everyone at the party thought it was a hoot! Needless to say Mom and Dad got her one for Christmas.
Cheese!
Checking to make sure baby is OK!
Just in time for the Holiday’s we had a family photo shoot done out at the beach. Our photographer did an amazing job as you can see. Brooke is 18 months old in these pictures.
We got to go back to AZ for a nice vacation last week to see family and friends. We spent several days up in Phoenix visiting with Grammy, Grandpa, Aunt Allison and got to see Teta and Uncle Brad. We ended our trip in Tucson visiting with Oma, Opa, and Tia Christine. It was nice getting to see all of our family and friends too.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. I was off and so we got to spend quality time together. Thursday we went on our traditional walk of the Great Dismal Swamp. Brooke, unfortunately, did not enjoy herself very much at all this year, but we managed to snap a few good pictures. After a long nap while Laura and I cooked, Brooke was in a much better mood and we went to the Zappas’ family home for dinner. Brooke had a lot of fun playing with her friend Adrianna and there was a lot of good food to eat.
