Brooke's First Christmas

As most of you know, Brooke likes to sleep in, so I was surprised when she woke up at 3:45 on Christmas morning.  I guess something about being a kid on Christmas morning makes you excited for presents.  Well, I was NOT ready to open presents in the wee hours of the morning, so I got Brooke back to sleep until about 8.  After feeding her, and waking up Kevin, we decided it was time to go check if Santa had arrived :)

Brooke's stocking was filled with a few small toys, a new sippy cup, and an orange (per tradition).

She seemed to like her first baby doll, and she will grow into using the walker.  She was able to balance herself when standing up, but then just wanted to chew on the handle of the stroller.

She LOVED the paper and all the bows.  We simply had to get the paper started, she would rip it off, then suck on the bow. After we opened presents and played with her new toys, she was ready for a nap.  Kevin and I got ready for the day, and packed up our things to head to Flower Mound.  As soon as Brooke woke up, we facetimed with Grammie and Grandpa Clark and Kimberly.  We had saved one present for Brooke so they could watch her open it :)  Brooke was lucky enough to get to stay in her pajamas, so we jumped in the car and were on our way.

Melanie and Jeff hosted, and we enjoyed the afternoon of eating, opening gifts, and watching the girls play with their toys.  We were all very spoiled!!

 Kinley really loved the gift her parents gave to Brooke!  She might need one of her own, haha. Brooke was just staring at her cousin, and Kinley is interacting more with her, so that is fun to see.

Although we didn't plan it, the girls had matching Christmas jammies. Auntie Kimberly picked those out for Brooke!

 I would say our little girl was very spoiled!  She is loving all these new toys, books, and clothes.  We feel so thankful for this special season, and for the blessing it is to have Brooke in our home.  She was the best thing we could have asked for this year :)
