We have been letting Nanuq stay inside since it has been so cold and Brookelynn loves it! For the first time Brookelynn is interested in playing with her puppy! Nanuq on the otherhand, definitely got more sleep when she wasn't interested.
Oh she loves the snow!
This was hilarious! She was picking up the snow and eating it for the longest time...then she kicked up a big lump of snow. She thought it would be more convenient to just lean over and eat it straight off the ground.

Then Nanuq decided to join in on the fun...
And that silly polar bear took Brookelynn's hat!
But she thought it was so funny!
This is a picture of the backyard around 5:30. I will take another picture in the morning...it is still snowing!
Brookelynn and her daddy being silly during a Cowboy's game
Brookelynn went through a phase where she didn't want to smile for any pictures...but now...she is a little ham for the camera. When she sees the camera this precious little smile comes out!
This was the day before our trip to Mexico. Brookelynn was heading to Abilene with Terry & Nita that night. I was a little sad and Brookelynn started playing with our luggage tag so I couldn't help but put it on her wrist and ask Bailey if he thought she would qualify as a carry-on. 
When we got back home Brookelynn had a new interest in purses. She loves to carry them on her shoulder. She makes it looks so complicated but it is so cute when she carries it around.
She has to keep her arm above her head so that it doesn't fall off.
Here is the 'smile for the camera' pose. What a cute little stinker!
Being silly with her purse
This was just this week when she was pulling her bucket around the house. I peeked around the corner with the camera and there was that smile.
Rachel did an amazing job on Jaxson's party. It was a cowboy theme and every detail reflected this precious theme! From the amazing cake to the cowboy pictures and cowboy cookies! It was a fun party with family.
Jaxson wasn't really interested in his cake...but Brookelynn definitely was.

We started Christmas this year with the Beals on the 23rd. Brookelynn's presents began...She opened a red barn playhouse and loved it! I have never seen her so excited! It was so cute! She had so much fun hiding inside and playing peek-a-boo out the windows.
She loves that little barn!
On Christmas Eve, we woke up to a Winter Wonderland! We had a white Christmas after it was 70 degrees on the 23rd! It was beautiful and we couldn't believe how much it had snowed and it just kept coming!
There was snow everywhere!
Brookelynn tasting snow for the first time
Brookelynn and I went outside that afternoon to check out the snow. She loved it... loved to eat it more than anything!
Trecking through the snow in her new 'frog' boots
The boys got in the hot tub that afternoon with the snow all around
I made a small snowman that wasn't much to look at...but I wasn't sure how long the snow would hang around.

On Christmas day, Bailey and I braved the cold and made a real snowman! It was so fun...and so much work! Don't ask why it has antlers. I think Bailey just really wanted to see something with horns! This one really made my little snowman look really sad...

She loves to eat snow...
Jared, Rachel & Jaxson came to Abilene on the 26th and we had our 'Christmas morning'. Jaxson got a four wheeler for Christmas and Brookelynn thought it was so cool! She hopped on for a ride...
