The Holidays Went By in a Blur!

Grandma Tye time...
Brooke is a rock star... notice the microphone on the floor.
Thanksgiving in Eau Claire.  Poopa and Brookie having some fun.
Great Grandma Helen helping Brooke to color.  G-Grandma will be 97 this year!
Diann and Brookie.
"Brooke, don't eat the cookie dough..."  What a guilty face.  Totally caught in the act.

Terry and Grandma Sue helping to make gingerbread cookies.
Brooke reading a book while we decorate for Christmas.
Heading out in the snow.
It's the first snowstorm of the season. Brooke is having a lot more fun this year. 
Tim bought the girls shovels to help him shovel.  The snowblower broke and instead of fixing it he decided he'll shovel this year.  I declined to help.  I'll happily snowblow....  Little does he know the snowfall will be of record proportions this winter!
Cameron found her love of photography.  I showed her how to take pictures with our camera.  She posed us...and Aurora.

Brooke wanting do dance at Cameron's ballet "recital."
Miss Gwen and the girls
Cameron, Brooke and their friends Erin and Leah.
Off to see the Macy's top floor display and dinner with the Rogges.
Sassy pants Brooke.
 Maddie, Poopa and Brooke at dinner before the show.
 The cousins....
 Cameron and Max waiting in line.  So cute.
 Brooke is such a good kisser.

Brooke's 2nd birthday party!  So excited that the gifts were for her.

Mom and Brooke!  Happy birthday baby!
 Christmas at Papa and Nana's.  The girls all got matching Hello Kitty jammies.
 Christmas Eve...heading to Aunt Terry's house for Polish Dinner.



Christmas morning... both girls got a Jessie doll from Santa!
 Cameron's favorite winter snack is snow!
 The required hot chocolate after playing outside...
 Tim went to Scott's cabin for a weekend of ice fishing.  We had a party night.  Popcorn and a movie.
 New bed sets! We decided to get Brooke a big girl bed.  We were worried she wouldn't stay in it, but she never leaves it!  She waits in it until we come and get her.  So wonderful!
 We also got Cameron and new bed.  Her old one was a bed frame with a poorly attached headboard that rattled everytime she moved in the bed.  She loves her new bed.
 My school had a Sock Hop so my mom and I made the girls poodle skirts. 
They were really excited to go.  It was a little bit crazy and loud, but it was fun!
 
Valentine's Day.  Girls got books and a little bit of candy.  All is well with the Rogges.  Tim loves his job and is doing very well.  I love my job as well.  I never thought I'd be teaching second graders, but I love it.  Winter has been long and I cannot wait for some sun....
