All of November

Brie was climbing on the shoe rack one night and decided to weigh Daddy's shoe...with her teeth...Yuck!

She got hung up here for awhile, poor thing.

Check out the stockings and shoes. And there's Brie going through the cupboard in the background.

She hasn't yet become camera-shy.

No, Chelsea is not wearing pants. She's kind of weird that way. She's always liked being barefooted, but recently she's preferred pantsless as well. I don't know where she gets that. The rest of us like wearing pants just fine. =)

At least she's looking at the camera. Nowadays she likes to say cheese but look off to the side.

Behind the couch (she's headed there) is sometimes a fun place to crawl.

I don't remember why Chels brought her pillow and blanket out. But both girls liked resting their heads. Too bad they bonked noggins. They were being so cute sharing a pillow!

Chelsea is eating her lunch nicely.

And Brie was walking around hugging and patting this bottle of lotion like she would a little baby. 

I'm pretty sure this was Thanksgiving Day. I didn't take many pictures that day. We had planned to go to the Hornbacher farm to celebrate and pig out, but we had gotten snow and were expecting much more. So we stayed home. The snow storm was a disappointment and we totally would have been fine driving. We missed seeing the Hornbachers, but we still had fun with the Kelly Clan.

The day after Thanksgiving Chelsea got to make cookies with Auntie Beth.

While they did the cookies, Brie unloaded Grandma's cupboard. This cupboard is regularly gone through, emptied, rearranged, etc. Brie's newest thing is putting a plastic tub on her head or face and looking through it. Goofy girl.

Frosting time! I accidentally deleted one of Chels adding sprinkles. I'm too lazy to re upload it. Just imagine her face in deep concentration, similar to the one here, and you'll know prettymuch how it looked. Daddy got in on the action a bit as well.

The finished product! They are great cookie bakers! They turned out tasty as well as beautiful!

The girls got a kick out of Daddy squirting them with water.

Brie out cold. What does she look like immediately upon waking?

Just like this!

By the way, she did have a blanket to start out with. She must have thrown it out of the crib. She does stuff like that.

Brie isn't the only one that likes to put things on her head!

And it's time to decorate the Christmas tree! Chels is pretty good at helping to put ornaments on.

Brie is pretty good about taking them off again.

Nice earrings, Daddy!

So there's a concentration of candy canes. The perfectionist in me wants to spread them out, but I've resisted so far. I'm trying to leave them alone. =)

Brie is cute snuggling the little nativity figures that Chelsea lined up so nicely.

The finished product. Brie nearly cried when we stopped her from taking things off the tree/touching things on the tree. But she got over it. Now she is very good about leaving the tree (and the presents!) alone.

Why she chose this location to color her picture I don't know. It must have been comfortable. =)
