Brynlee's First Christmas and Such!

Now that I've had a nap from my last post...I can write about happy things! :) We are such an awesome Christmas this year! It was so much fun to have Brynlee here!! She LOVED all the wrapping paper...lol! Actually she really does love all her new toys! We really got spoiled this year and Brynlee definitely got spoiled by not only us, but both Grandparents really went overboard! We are so blessed to have such awesome families! We had 3 Christmas's this year! One at home with our little family...then we went to the Murphy's...and ended at the Packer's for dinner...Traveling in the snow wasn't my favorite but it was awesome to be with the people we love most! A few favorite Chirtsmas memories so I don't forget...Dressing Brynlee in "holiday" attire! One of my favorite onsies said,"All mommy wants for Christmas is a silent night!" Spending time with my husband...he never takes time off, but we got to spend 5 awesome days together! Teaching in young womens the Sunday before Christmas, feeling the spirit of Christ so strong all the girls were touched and truly feeling the real meaning of Christmas! Getting stuck in the snow in front of one of my Mia Maids house while dropping off treats to her. Being pushed out by her dad! lol! We really did have a wonderful Christmas, and are so blessed!!

Brynlee also turned 5 months old officially on the 20th....wanted to document a few things she now does!

*Rolls over from Tummy to Back
*Laughs hysterically...especially if everyone is laughing she thinks she needs to be laughing too!
*Understand Peek-A-Boo and loves it!
*Thinks the dog is hilarious! Wants to grab at her any chance she gets!
*Sleeps in her Crib
*Grabs your face, glasses, hair, phone, anything she can get her hands on!
*Loves rise cereal, and Oatmeal, applesauce, and bananas.
*Walks herself around in her walker in Grandma Packer's kitchen!
*Can almost sit up by herself
*She's very happy (when she doesn't have an ear infection!), loves to scream, laugh, and be were the action is!!
*Loves to go to the Mall and stroll around in her stroller looking at all the stuff!! :)
We love you Brynlee!!

Onto my last subject...my hair! I DID IT!! I went dark!! I'm actually LOVING it! It was quite the process of formulating things just right so it didn't turn out some funky color!! But in the end it turned out great! I don't know if I will go back blonde...this is SO much less maintenance!! Joe loves it and the funniest thing he said was one night while we were laying in bed was, "I feel like I"m having a affair sleeping in the same bed as a brunette!"lol At first Brynlee would Cry every time she looked at me, then I fed her, and she realized I still have the "goods" she's been fine ever since!! Anyways...Hope everyone has a very Happy New Year!! Goodbye 2008!!!

She was so excited about the paper!!

Christmas Smiles!

This was the first step...had to "fill" my hair so I wouldn't turn green!! I don't think the carrot top orange look works for me!!haha

Not the greatest of pictures, but here is the end result!!! My camera sucks, and the lighting is horrible. It's not green looking like it looks here I promise!! :)
