We got together with my side of the family starting on December 23rd. We all were able to get there that day and it was nice to have quite a few days together to enjoy the holiday!!! I snapped these pictures of Jonah and Brynn after dinner before present opening. I thought it was hilarious because the two of them just kept sitting there and letting us snap pictures, so there are quite a few of them. I will also post a video that was taken to show how loud the two were being during the process.

At the end of all the Christmas chaos the two took a tub together...
Brynn discovered Mario Kart Wii one evening. I do not remember how it started, but she has will bring us the wheel and say "I want to play game!" Which means Mario Kart Wii. She loves playing with me because I always drive the princess car. Here is a short video of what happens... This obsession has begun to die down this last week but before this, she would ask almost daily for us to play.
Literally the title is what she said to me after she did it. "I colored my face" Which is followed by me "Should you color your face?" Brynn "No, only on paper!" This happens everytime she colors somewhere. Same conversation over and over...Hopefully she quits coloring on things soon. And hopefully real soon with coloring on herself. The day before this picture was taken she had colored the bottom of her feet green.
I was supposed to work Thanksgiving, but got to stay home on call all day!!! Matt and I were waiting all day with dread that the phone would ring and I would have to go to work. Luckily, we got to drive to my Aunt's house (an hour away) for Thanksgiving dinner. We had to wait until close to 5 to leave, and my Aunt held supper until we got there. Thank you Family!!!! That was awesome! So here are some pics from that night.
Brynn and Jonah loved the iphone my cousin's girlfriend Angela had. They hung out in her lap after dinner for a long time, I had to try to get a cute picture.. Here is what I got. Angela attempting to get Brynn to look at the camera.
Brynn's one look at the camera (Notice Jonah absorbed by the iphone I don't think her changes his position at all in any of the photos).
Brynn loved Angela. Here is the last try I had of getting a photo of them.
Daddy got to meet Brynn's new cousin (and our new niece) at Thanksgiving, Olive Elizabeth. Brynn loves her as well.
I had forgotten to post that Brynn got a big girl bed before Thanksgiving. We figured since she is potty trained we should get her a bed soon. The bed is my mother's first bed that she had. So we picked it up from my parents house and brought it home and set it up in Brynn room. We thought it was going to be an adjustment, but oh Brynn just decided to suprise us. Matt set it up in her room. She ran up there and said "My bed" over and over. She then refused to sleep in her crib that night. So it took us till 1000 pm to get her to sleep that first night, but since then she has slept perfectly in it. Ya to being a big girl!
