The Tissue Paper

Natalie always seems to find things to make Briella laugh.
This is tissue paper.
We have about eight minutes of video of this,
but we took a small clip to put on here.
Enjoy!

Birthday Parties

On the 12th both Reid and I celebrated our birthdays. Reid had a camouflage party. Needless to say we took it to the extreme.

Both of the boys are great with Briella and love making her laugh. Here she is just hanging with them as they tear into the Deer Hunter set my mom got them. Then Dylan let Briella play with the tree he assembled. Such sweethearts.

Briella helped mommy open her presents. Had to get some practice in before Christmas.

And here she is soooo happy and proud of herself for standing up on her own. (We'll let her pretend the couch wasn't helping).

That's about it for now.

Making Christmas Cookies and Random Pictures

On Saturday we had a cookie making party. Briella helped too!

Actually, Kevin did most of the work. I got a little frustrated when all my cookies stuck to the table no matter how much flour so I just stuck to decorating.

Yeah! Lots of yummy cookies!

Back in a box.

Must eat BEEF!!!

Our daughter is the goofiest sleeper. We will come in to find her with all arms and legs outside of the crib, or laying all scrunched up in the corner. Here's just a few cute pics.

Definately a little ham!

Aunt Natalie got Briella this stylin' red hat. I'm sure it will be showing up in many future pictures.

Putting up the tree

First we read "The Legend of the Christmas Tree"; a great book that tells about how we started celebrating Christmas with trees and how it started out as a way to teach children about Jesus.

Humble beginnings.

We put Briella down for her nap and finished the tree. (She kept trying to eat the ornaments)

Checking out the tree

Briella and mommy enjoying the tree!

Thanksgiving

Ok, so this is going to go backwards.... On Saturday we had had Thanksgiving with Kevin's side of the family in Mauston. Briella got to play with her second cousins Angelica and Chloe.
On Friday night we celebrated with my family in La Crosse.

On Thursday we hung around home and had dinner at the La Crosse Community Dinner.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Visiting Great Grandma Henry

With Aunt Joan

We went to visit Great Grandma Henry one weekend. It was the first time she got to see Briella!

Briella loves to type

November

Briella's First Box Experience! All eyes on you! She enjoyed it more the second day.

Playing in the baby gym

Briella loves Willy! (Willy likes her alot too but doesn't like to admit it)

All bundled up!

Daddy took mommy on a secret date without Briella, but we got a family picture before we left.

All smiles!



Classic!!!

Briella loves to roll all over the place. Her favorite place though is under beds.


This is Willy's spot though at Grandpa and Grandmas.
