December to remember...(In reverse chronological order again...)

Brooklyn singing "Everything at once" for the Larsen Family talent show at the Crystal Inn. (We got there every year after Christmas with the Larsen side of the family...thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Larsen!) Brooklyn LOVES the talent show and loves singing.

Bry and Brooklyn at the swimming pool. Bry didn't like swimming much that day, but Brooklyn swam at least 5 times in the 3 days we were up there. She even got really brave and mastered her jumping in skills.

Bry trying to make a quick escape up the stairs at the hotel.

Brooklyn and her cousin Grace waiting for the white elephant gift exchange to begin.

Bry also waiting for the white elephant gift exchange...but running around wildly instead of sitting quietly.

Great-Grandma Arave at Davis' house on Christmas.

Daddy helping Bry open his Christmas present at Grandma Davis' on Christmas.

The fun mailbox we saw a few days ago (Deb do you recognize this?)

We saw the mailbox on the way to visit Great Grandma Arave!

The famous stockings that were always hung around (my) Grandma Arave's kitchen while we were growing up.

Christmas morning! (We took lots of videos but only a few pics I guess...sorry Bry! He is in all the videos though.)

My stash...

The family games...

We opened a few presents before church and the rest after...

Bry now has almost all his teeth. He likes to read books and loves this little book he has with animals. He especially likes the lion and will growl like a lion when asked.

Brooklyn loves preschool and loved her birthday and Christmas! She keeps asking me what the next holiday is.

2011 was so fun, we hope to have a great 2012 too!
