Happy Birthday Zach!

Zach won our family game of poker. You can see why can't you? That is a pretty good poker face.

Playing a version of guitar hero. See Brianna clapping for Mom?
Johnny, the photographer. Taking after Grandpa.

Emma helping Dad blow out his candle. He turning 29 so he is getting too old to do it himself.

Pig Tails! =)

Brianna's first Pig tails. She has not been very happy today so today wasn't the greatest day to try. Oh well, she is cute anyway. She is watching Elmo in this picture. Seems to be the only thing that she likes today. Well, Elmo or Mom holding her. Thank God for Elmo!

The snow is SO pretty. Brianna kept pointing outside and she even repeated "snow" after me. =)

Napping on the floor again.

Our Silly Girl

Brianna built her first bear!

These are my friends/co-workers LeeAnn and Jeanne. We have had the tradition of lunch at Olgas then building a bear for Toys for Tots for 3 years now (although I think we skipped last year). Brianna joined us this year. She didn't really know what she was doing but she liked the big machine with the stuffing tumbling inside. She built a bunny since her bunny is her favorite. She also liked Jeanne's purse which is a teddy bear backpack. She kept pointing at it hanging on her back.

Fav's from a year ago...

Grandpa G's visit

On Monday I was home with Grandpa G and Mommy.

Boy, that Grandpa sure tires me out. I think I'll lay down right here for a nap.

Okay, I'm ready to go again. Up and down, up and down the sidewalk.

Grandpa can't believe he is in Michigan in November playing outside.

I got to spend the day with my Dad and Grandpa G. on Tuesday.
We played, went for a walk, and went to the Beltline Bar!
What a good day. = )

Happy First Birthday Brianna!

We're all decorated in butterflies and flowers!

Our Little Birthday Princess...

Brianna shares her Birthday with he Aunt Eugenia. Happy Birthday Eugenia!

Brianna kept taking her Birthday hat off so her cousin Emma said she would wear it.

Brianna's ALMOST first chocolate...besides the chocolate chip she found on the floor and the piece of chocolate cake we caught Grandma giving her at a party the other weekend. =)

Presents and Pinata...

Because they didn't just get enough candy from Halloween...
New toys, books and clothes!

Cousin Johnny playing peek-a-boo with her. She thinks he is hilarious.

Brianna's head-butting is her way of showing affection & love. You know you are loved if you get one. =) Here she is loving her cousin Johnny.

CAKE! The first fancy cake I ever made. I'm quite proud of it! Jeremy's Mom and Sister helped me with it. Thank you! The matching one on the left is Eugenia's. We bought it and added matching decor to it. The one on the right of course is Briannas chocolate, chocolate, chocolate cake.
