B's Day


B had an exciting birthday today. Mimi, Pops, Gram, Aunt Kayla, Kaley and I all took B to Chuck E Cheese for the very first time. She loved it! When we got back home she took a nice long nap and then she wanted to watch cartoons. Later on we went out to dinner with Mimi and Pops at Longhorns to celebrate two wonderful years of having Brooklynn in our lives.

I've worked hard making a video of B's second year, but I can't get the thing to upload onto the blog. For now, you can see it on my Facebook wall. I'll continue to try to get it to upload tomorrow.

Happy Birthday, Brooklynn!

Our busy B turns two years old today. I made a video, but Blogspot can be difficult when trying to upload videos. Check back later on today!

Organization!

Brooklynn's birthday party was scheduled for the day after Christmas. We had everything ready to go, but the weather didn't cooperate. Everybody could not get here so we had to postpone it to Monday night. Instead, we spent the day organizing Brooklynn's playroom and packing up the toys she has outgrown.





Floyd Family Christmas

After lunch with the Farrs it was off to Spartanburg to celebrate with the Floyds. The snow was picking up so we rode with Mimi and Pops.

Uncle Blake, Kayley, and Brooklynn

Aunt Shay
Mimi with 2nd cousin Alli (It was her first Christmas!)

After the party, we headed back to Mom and Dad's to open up our gifts. Unfortunately at that point it was snowing pretty hard and had been for awhile. We had to rush to open our presents so we could get back home before the roads got too bad. I didn't get any pictures in the gift opening madness!

Farr Family Christmas #2

After opening her presents from Santa at home we headed up to Gram and Poopa's house to celebrate with Aunt Katie, Uncle Jason, Marlee, Aunt Kayla, and Uncle Justin.
It started snowing, and didn't stop.
Brooklynn got so excited opening her gifts that she would do her hands like this.
We like to call it, "Raising the roof!"
B got lots of gifts, including this new easel. She loves to paint!

I was most excited about a new 50 mm portrait camera lens. Now we can get close ups! Here are a few shots I took:

What did Santa bring B?"

Christmas morning we spent at our house for the first time. Mom and Dad came over to watch Brooklynn open her presents from Santa. Poopa and Gram stopped by a little later in the morning to see Brooklynn's surprises.
Brooklynn's new kitchen from Santa.
She loved it, although she has been a little frustrated that the water won't cut on.

Opening more presents.

"Fun!"
My presents for Nick. His diploma framed and his certificate from the SC Supreme Court.

Wilson Family Christmas

Christmas Eve we celebrated with Nick's Mom's side of the family. B and Marlee were already warmed up and ready to continue their play from the night before. Second cousin Gunner also got to join in on the fun!

Trying to get three 2 year olds to look at the camera at once proved impossible for me.

Brooklynn didn't need any help opening her presents.

But again she was sidetracked with a book.

Sweet girl

Almost got them both looking.
