What a weekend. :) On Saturday, I was able to get out of the house and go see a movie with my brother's girlfriend, Joanie, after Ryan got back home from playing football. We saw Twilight, which everyone had told me I needed to go see.. so, I can say now that I have. :)
On Sunday, our church had a live nativity set up outside with lots of little pet-a-pet animals for the kids--donkeys, goats, sheep, a calf, rabbits, a rooster. Brooke was in HEAVEN. She ran from animal to animal, loving on them, and just BEAMING--completely unafraid. I'm so thrilled that she loves animals as much as her mama. :)
Last night was our early Christmas with my family, since we will be out of town spending Christmas with Ryan's family this year. It was such a nice evening, and such a special time with my family. I am so blessed. Of course, I have pictures to share... so, I'll just move right along to those. :)
Ready to open presents!
