Ronnie and Katie's

We went to visit Johnny's cousin Ronnie and his wife, Katie, last Sunday, 12/5. 
They enjoyed Brinley and she laughed and talked and kept everyone entertained....

We enjoyed seeing them and need to visit with them more often!

Bath Time

Brinley has always enjoyed her bath time!
I bathe her in her bathtub in the kitchen sink. Here is a picture of the first time (July 7) we gave her a bath in her bathtub when she was little....

Here are some pictures of her in her bath last week (December 1).....

I think she is outgrowing it! We need to move her to the bathroom soon!

Here she is all clean, wrapped up in her towel!.....

And afterwards, playing for a little while before bed.

Louisiana

My mom's family is in Louisiana and we haven't seen them in so long. We use to go there for most of our holidays when I was growing up. So we thought we'd go for a visit. We went the day after Thanksgiving and stayed at Donna and Jake's.  We saw Donna, Jake, Marian, Brittney, Lacey, Harold and Debbie. Everyone else had things going on or were out of town, but it was a good visit and good to see everyone.
Jenny, Chris, Skyler, Ashleigh, Olivia and Camden were there when we got there, but left that afternoon.  Skyler and Ashleigh stayed and rode back the next day with us.
Here are some pictures of them before they left....

 Livi, Ash, Lacey....

 Lacey and Skyler....

Harold doesn't like to get his picture taken and said he wasn't going to, so me and Brinley (and Nana is behind us) went to stand behind Harold so Daddy could get a picture....

But then we got a little better one later on....

Brinley showing us how good she rolls over....

Me, Skyler and Brinley....

It was going to be Jake's 61st birthday in a couple days so Nana and Donna decided to surprise him and put 61 candles on a cake for him! Here they are hiding to light the candles....

Bringing it out to him....

Waiting for him to blow out all the candles....

We had fun seeing everyone!

Thanksgiving Day

We went to Joy's for Thanksgiving. Besides us, Joy, Casey, Taylor and Zoe, Tommy Sue and John, Jerry and Stephanie, Grandma and Gary and Lana were all there. Lots of family, we had fun. Brinley was a little overtired and overwhelmed by all the people from my work the day before, my parents that morning and Johnny's family that day.  But she did good and got lots of attention.
Here are some pictures we took of everyone.

Thanksgiving breakfast

We started Thanksgiving morning by going to my parents for breakfast.  Chris, Jenny, the 3 girls and Camden were there as well. We didn't get alot of pictures, but here are a few we did get.
Me and Chris cooking and Livi passing out placecards....

 Ashleigh was hungry and couldn't wait for the rest of us!

 Camden was ready to get out of this chair....

    Brinley and Papa.....

        Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Helping Mama

Last Wednesday, Papa brought Brinley up to my work. Johnny was out of town for work and we had to go pick him up from the airport.  So Brinley saw everyone that was at my work, then I had to do a few things before I was able to leave.
So here she is making sure I am doing it correctly.....

 

 

This was a last minute visit, so I didn't have the camera.  These are taken with a cell phone, so are a little blurry.

She was there for about an hour and had fun seeing everyone. 

Her outfit that day is one of my favorites! Even though I was told by 3 people that day that she looked like a doll.  It gave Daddy a big smile when he saw her! It was the first outfit I bought her when I was pregnant and found out I was having a girl. Here are some pictures from that morning.....

   You can never have too many ruffles and bows!!!
