Concentrating hard! 

Here is the finished product! 

Brooks will be playing and I will ask him to take his shoes off. . . he always puts them down very neatly! So funny to see him running around like a madman and then stop and turn into "prim and proper" Brooks! They actually now have an exact spot in the house! He had to put them in that exact spot!! 

This one is really sweet! We got it in sepia and it looks great!! 

These next two are the ones we ordered! They did turn out really cute!! 

Are you seeing a pattern here?!?! We could have advertised for the world wrestling federation!! 

Brooks and Jack being extra cooperative!! 

Pop Pop was such a good sport!! We instructed him to NOT, under any circumstances look away from the camera in case we actually got both of the little ones looking!! 

Not quite what we were thinking for "laying" on Pop Pop's back!! :-) 

Yes, we bribed with M&Ms in the boxes. . failed ot work!! 

Look how much Brooks was enjoying himself!!! 

We took Pop Pop and the boys to get some Chirstmas pictures taken! We now understand how people go off the deep end!!This is one shot we got of Brooks. . . and still not exactly looking at the camera!! 

Brooks was playing with his cars and singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". I tried to be very discreet about the filming, but he figured me out! It is still really cute as he does sing parts of it!

We finally got our tree decorated tonight! It still needs a skirt, but we are closer to done!! 

The Grinch! 

Helping Daddy decorate! 

Brooks and Daddy! 

Brooks didn't really have any interest once he hung his ornament from this year! 

Brooks was very proud of his ornament this year. It is a baseball santa! 

Hanging his 2006 ornament! 

Such a big helper! 

Enjoying myself out in the snow! 

I think Brooks is saying, "cold" in this picture!! 

Just chillin'!! 

Here is a video of Brooks reading Go Dog Go by Dr. Seuss! He loves to "read" the books he has memorized! The only time he will sit still is to listen to a book! I guess that should be expected with two teachers for parents!

Brooks' nervous face!
