We are gearing up for a trip to Kentucky this Christmas! We're driving up tomorrow after Mike gets off work, and we are very excited to see family and friends. Abby Kate is intent upon making sure we have cookies made and a note to leave for Santa. Will he visit Mimi and Pawpaw's house? Will he know she'll be there? We've assured her that, yes, he will know where she is, and as long as she's a really good girl he'll bring her the one and only thing she wants for Christmas: Taylor Swift music. I know. Weird for a 3-year-old! But she LOVES her songs. Even though she gets the words all wrong - which I'm sort of happy about because they're not completely G-rated!
This Christmas is bittersweet for AK, Avery and me because next year Daddy won't be here for the holidays. We recently found out Mike will be deploying next Fall and will be based on an aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean for seven months. That will be very hard for our family, but we are trying to concentrate on the fact that he is here now, and we're going to soak him up until he leaves.
We are praying for all those families with military men and women overseas this Christmas!

Hey Case...the people that live in our old house brought a bundle of mail over for us tonight and your card was in there----so, so cute! Loved it.
Ahhh the deployment...brings a lump to my throat for you and the girls. But, you've amazed me thus far with your strength...
Safe travels to KY for the Wallaces!
Hope to see you while you are home! You know I was thinking....we should just move in together while Mike is deployed...John's never home! I'm so envious of your stength and adaptability! You can do it sister!I always keep you in my prayers!
Love the new header picture! The girls are just precious...give them hugs from us. Counting down the days to March when I can give them hugs myself!
Beautiful pictures! I am sad to hear of Mike's lengthy deployment. I am glad you have wonderful family and friends to encourage and love on you all in his absence. Praying you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year with family! I look forward to pics. Love from all of the Brooks clan! Merry Christmas!
