Halloween to Christmas

 

 Aunt Gin sent Brooklyn an amazing homemade Halloween costume, including cape, mask & power belt.  Brooklyn was "BB the superhero".  She loved handing out the candy at our house, however was sad after the kids left the house. 

 Nana & Papa came to visit to help out when Kevin was traveling for work.  She & Brooklyn were doing their exercises.

 Grandma & Grandpa also made a visit in November. Brooklyn loves her visits from family.

 This is our Charlie brown Christmas tree.  We actually went with friends Heidi & Jason and cut down our own tree this year (a first for Kevin).  We had a great time, although our picking out skills will need to be enhanced next year.  Those trees look so different out in the forest!

 Brooklyn is really working on her potty training skills.  We take a few steps forward and a few steps back, but she's off & on interested in using the "big girl potty" along with reading a book while relaxing.

 Happy to say there are some pictures, before the gingerbread house came crumbling down.  It's not as easy as it looks to keep the house up, without braces underneath.  Brooklyn also came to tears after I told her she had eaten enough candy. 

 "pre" Christmas event in Boise.  We flew out on Christmas Eve to California, so opened our gifts the night before. 

 LA Zoo with Nana.  They had some cool, big animals that we don't have in Boise.
