Quick hello...

So much going on... we are in full swing of the month of December around here. Just a few pics to share, hopefully more to come soon.

On the way to the SEC Championship game... not a fun outcome, but definitely a fun trip!

Sorry for the not-so-great picture, but this is the return on Santa's 'Elf on a Shelf' "Candy Cane" to the Brooks household. This silly little elf gets into all kinds of mischief each night after the kids have gone to sleep. He appears on Dec 1 and leaves after Christmas to go back to the North Pole with Santa. Candy Cane took all of our stockings off the mantle and played with some toilet paper before falling asleep in RJ's stocking. (RJ loves this surprise every morning... this morning he was in our fridge! RJ could hardly stand it!)

Watching the Christmas Parade... the girls are tucked into blankets and jackets behind these tough boys (RJ was really just getting close in hopes of getting some candy thrown to him!) Notice the similar pose they are both in?

This little girl loves some food... opposite of her brother, but oh so funny! She also loves chinese lo mein noodles... she can slurp them up like nobody's business. She was quite tickled with herself at this!

Birthday roses... these gorgeous 2 dozen roses were from my wonderful, giving, and thoughtful husband.
