Merry Christmas To All!

We had a very Merry Christmas and had such a great time with all of our families and hope you all did too! We had a very busy weekend as usual, but it was full of fun. Brielle had a blast this year and was really into opening her gifts. She got some really neat things that we can't wait to play with when we get home. Thanks to everyone for making this yet another great Christmas!

My new favorite picture of my two favorite people!!

Our holiday started off on Christmas Eve morning with Papa & Mema Dunbar and families. Brielle got a new baby doll and all kinds of cool stuff for her baby!

Our family picture which actually turned out pretty good considering there are 7 kids!

Daddy's friend Luke Amstutz made Brielle this rocking horse...she loves it!!

Baby Grace..she is such a doll baby! Brielle had so much fun with her and showed us what a great big sister she is going to be :)

Christmas Day we spent the day with Papa & Grandma Brower, Austin, Aunt Brooke, and Uncle Cameron

Brielle and her babies, she is such a little mother

Opening gifts is such hard work that she needed to take a break and relax

Grandma had her train and village set up which was a big hit

She loves her baby bottles

Our last Christmas gathering was on the 26th with Papa & Gma Stauffer and families. BB got a bunch more awesome gifts...puzzles, books, a book bag, drawing easel, and much more :)

Our family picture turned out nice and as you can see we have a new addition to the family...Baby Brooklin Noel

Brookin and Aunt Jaime are both doing great and they get to go home to Daddy and BIG sister Gracie tonight. She is beautiful and absolutely precious. Look at all that hair!! Congrats to Aunt Jaime and Uncle Jeremy...we can't wait to see them at Christmas:)

1 Year...

One year ago today our little girl had surgery at the age of 15 months. A day we will never forget, yet a day we don't like to think about. We are so glad it is in our past and that it was a total success! Her surgery was very minor compared to what a lot of parents have to go through with their children, but for us it was HUGE to hand our baby over to be put to sleep and cut open. It was a very emotionally draining day. Here we are a year later and everything is going great with Brielle's urinary tract system. She is still on an antibiotic (its been 14 months now) and has to have another renal ultrasound in April. We are so thankful God has protected and healed our girl!

Baby update: We were to the OB dr about 3 weeks ago and everything is going perfectly for me and our new little bundle. We go back to the dr next Friday Dec. 18th for our ultrasound to find out what our little baby is!! We will be keeping it a secret until Christmas..thank goodness it's only a week!
