Ellie sandwich!

basketball

Noah tried out basketball for the first time this year.  We did the upwards program which was excellent.  He loved the music and cheerleaders rooting for him.  He was really good for a first timer and got right in the action.  When guarding he stands with arms up waving everywhere.  He made quite a few baskets as well.  Love watching him excel at sports! Go Huskies!

How cute is he???

 I often find Anders in this position with a book...love it

 

 

Backyard fun!

If the only reason we moved a year and a half ago was to have a backyard to play in it is all worth it.  I really want my kids to have a childhood full of memories playing and being kids outside.  When the weather is nice this is where you can find the Brodricks!

 We support all holidays in our wardrobe choices

The Circus!

Eliza and I got to go to the circus with The Farias and Blalock girls.  They did a great job and we all enjoyed the show.  I love spending one on one time with my sweet girl.

Gifts of the heart

Our greatest and most favorite Christmas tradition is gifts of the heart.  Several week before Christmas we draw names and then create something for that person.  We exchange them Christmas Eve day so they are recognized as the special gifts they are.  The smiles on their faces are generated by their excitement of giving their gift. Love it love them.

 Ellie made a snake from one of daddy's old ties. She helped sew and stuff an then decorated him.

 I made Ellie a travel chalk board with her name

 Zac made Noah a target for his marshmallow gun he had purchased earlier.

Anderson made me a plate with his feet print
