Brand New Year

January is almost over I can't believe it! Time flies by so fast. Brielle is almost a year old! Its been many moons since my last post so I've got some updating to do. We had a great Christmas as a family. All of my family was able to be here. I dragged everyone outside to get a family picture.

It was so fun watching Brielle open her presents. As a new Christmas tradition I wrapped up all of her books and she opened one a day until Christmas. She still needed help opening her presents though even with all of that practice! Another new tradition is we made Christmas ornaments. We did Brielle's handprint and footprint on some clay. Here are some pics of our festivities!


Brielle loves her little buggy we got her.

To kick of the New Year, Brielle had to wear a cast on her left arm :(. She fractured her arm. It was a long 3 weeks with that on. Today she got to take off her splint!! She still crawls like she still has the splint on though. I was going to save her little pink cast but decided I'd just take a picture of it! (I don't know what I would have done with it really)


Casey and I are still working in the same places. We both have jobs we like. It's the slow time of year where I work so I get cut quite a bit which I like! That is until I get my paycheck! We've only taken Brielle sledding one time this whole winter. We've had such a weird winter. I'm so so ready for spring! There's not much to do in the winter with an 11 month old. We did take her to petsmart one day to look at the birds and the fish. I think she liked it. I liked looking at the fish too. I've always thought it would be fun to have some fish. I hear its a mess to clean the fishtank though so maybe we'll get fish next year!
