Just a bunch of pictures of my sweetheart!
She was crawling around everywhere and pulling herself up to everything.
I hosted Bunco at my house in December, and we had an ugly sweater party. It was a lot of fun! I wish I would have gotten individual pictures of everyone though, some of them came up with some winners!! I love these girls, they are so much fun.
Kenadee Elizabeth Watkins
MiKell and Lee had their beautiful baby girl, Kenadee on December 20, 2010. Kaden spent the night with Ben and I the night before because MiKell was being started that next morning. The day she was born we had a HUGE snowstorm! It snowed the whole entire day and the next. I took care of Kaden that day, getting him to and from school, and to and from basketball practice, and the rest of the time we were just patiently waiting at the hospital for his baby sister to get here. She finally arrived at 9:16 pm and was 6 pounds, 8 ounces and 20 inches long. They named her Kenadee Elizabeth Watkins.
She is such a special little girl. They've waited a long, long time for her, and she has brought so much joy into all of our lives. I'm so happy for their little family, I love them so much!
December Happenings
We had a lot of fun at our ward party. It was the second time she had seen Santa, once before at Santa's Workshop at the Middle School. She wasn't afraid of him at all, she just stared at him and then smiled. We'll see how she does next year ;)
I went with my mom and Kyler to their stake's Christmas program and afterwards, we came back to my house. Kyler introduced Brooklyn to Oreos, and she absolutely LOVED them. She's been addicted ever since. I love these pictures!
One day after church she was playing in my closet, and was so fascinated by my mirror. It was so funny to watch her. She would pound on the mirror and jabber to herself and she would kiss herself. I'm sure she thought her reflection was just another baby playing with her!
It was a struggle all month to keep her out of the presents. She just wanted to tear into them. There was one big present that she messed with all the time. While Ben was watching her one night, she tore into it when he wasn't looking and he said it was so funny, and he couldn't resist just letting her go at it. She was so excited to finally be able to tear the wrapping paper off!

Christmas Eve
We spent Christmas Eve with my family, first going over to my mom and dad's for dinner, and then we went over to MiKell and Lee's house to hang out, because they didn't want to go out with the brand new baby. Grandma Monsen also joined us. Afterwards, we came home and opened our Christmas jammies. Brooklyn was so happy that she could finally tear into a present, but it was funny, I think she was a little confused because we had been keeping her from them all month, but now we were telling her to open them. It took her a minute, but she got the hang of it pretty quickly!! It was fun to watch her be so excited!
Christmas Day
Christmas was so much fun this year with Brooklyn. She got really spoiled, but of course loved chewing on the wrapping paper best of all! She was so excited unwrapping all her presents, it was so much fun to watch her. After a while I think she was a little overwhelmed by it all. She had so many new toys to play with she didn't even know where to start. I'd have to say her very favorite has been the little princess car she got from Grandma Batty. She loves it, and pushes it all around the house. She walks really well with it, and is also walking along all the furniture. She is growing so fast!!

November 2010
Kyler came home from serving in the Canada, Halifax mission on November 5, 2010. We were so excited to see him!! Brookie was born while he was gone, so he got to meet her for the first time. We made her this cute shirt in honor of the occasion.
Waiting impatiently at the airport!
Kaden made this cute sign for Uncle Kyler from the nieces and nephew!
Yay! Elder Monsen, we missed you!!
The very first thing Kyler said to Brooklyn was "You're chubby!" haha.
We love you Kyler and are so happy you're home! We're so proud of you for serving an honorable mission, you are such a great example to all of us!!
Jazz Game
The day before Thanksgiving we took Kyler out to Salt Lake to go to the Jazz game. We made a quick stop at Temple Square, but it was sooo cold that day, so we didn't do too much! The Jazz played the Hornets, and won. We had great seats, and it was so much fun!!
Brookie's first Jazz game!! She's already a big fan!
I was pretty worried about how she would do with all the noise, but she LOVED it! We got her some little ear plugs and she did great. She loved watching all the people, and would get so excited when the crowd would cheer, but she would cry when the crowd booed! There were a couple of incidents with the Jazz Bear and a Hornets fan that got the crowd pretty wound up during a time out, and the crowd was booing so loud, it scared her and Ben ended up having to take her out for the 4th quarter. She's such a sensitive little thing and she'll always cry when she can sense that people are upset, but the majority of the time, she had a big smile on her face and was dancing and bouncing on our laps!
Thanksgiving 2010
We spent Brooklyn's first Thanksgiving at my mom and dad's house this year because Ben had to work and it was Kyler's first Thanksgiving home. Grandma Monsen was also with us, it was a lot of fun.
