Thanksgiving 2012

The girls decided to play dress up and perform for us at Thanksgiving at my sister's house.

Below my niece Mikayla and her cape :-)

The girls - Brenna, Ally, and Mikayla

ta-da (Ally lost one of her teeth on Thanksgiving - her big sister helped pull it out for her...Brenna's top two teeth are loose now, maybe we should invite Alexis over!)

bunny ears... (Mikayla was changing her costume)

pretty smiles

new costume - she looks like she is a super hero with the leotard and gold on her arms to me :-)

Silly faces...

Wow - I didn't realize these pictures were hiding on my camera. This is Brenna as a cat and her friend Isabel as a Zombie Cat on trick-or-treat night. Trick-or-treat was delayed in our neighborhood because of the wind and rain from Hurricane Sandy. Brenna thought Isabel's costume was plenty spooky! At least we had an evening that was just cold and not rainy... The kids all came home with so much candy that Brenna still has some at our house!

Brenna striking a pose before school in November - love the hat (hey, wait a minute...that is my hat!)

http://youtu.be/68uTraK2tvI - Brenna's Pom Pom Performance - I think she did an awesome job and she even smiled through almost the whole thing!

Sunday, December 23 - Kindergarten Photo

Our Kindergartener :-) She has such a good sime - I hope she never stops smiling :-)

Sunday, December 23 - Anniversary trip

I just thought I would share one picture from our anniversary trip to Chicago - it was a nice getaway and Brenna had a great time with the grandparents. She is going through a phase right now where she just wants to stay home with her cats all the time - boy, I hope that ends soon! I know that she always has a great time staying with both sides - she has such great grandparents (on both sides) who love her so much . (This pictures is so typical Dustin and I - he is wearing a running hat and Browns attire and I have my hat and rain coat on - all well loved items!)

Sunday, December 23 - Brenna's Camera

Hello All!!
I was doing so well posting for a few days in November and then I got very busy with Brenna's dance group costumes...Well, the costumes were finished yesterday (thank goodness! my machine was not happy to finish these, I had to switch to the small Janome to finish the last one!). The pictures below are all from Brenna's camera from her birthday. The video on it is pretty good, but indoor pictures are pretty fuzzy (but still enjoyable :-) - she was having a good time modeling things from her closet and she used the bathroom to change in (and then came out with some make-up on :-)

of course, the dog in the background - he seems to come running when he hears the camera be picked up...below one of Brenna's "babies" - she loves these cats way more than I thought she would...she is excited every day to see them and always wants to cuddle with them
