Sydney's 3rd Birthday

I love that our niece Sydney's birthday happens to fall on the 22nd of December because we've made all three of her special days!  I only wish that our other nieces and nephews birthdays were close to major "Brink" gatherings too because Aunt Angie and Uncle Russ LOVE cake (whether it be Dora the Explorer cake or Hot Wheels cake) and we especially LOVE snuggles and kisses from our little tribe of nieces and nephews. 

Note: I had a little incident with my SLR camera in LAX...namely, I tripped over my own foot (typical) and broke my lens so these pics have been generously sent to us by my sister-in-law and I do think they are quite cute :)  More pics to come of the Holidays - - I managed to use my point and shoot and manipulate my camera so a few pics actually turned out.

Baby Maddox!!!

Perhaps the cutest thing about Sydney is her love for her uncle Russ.  She's going in for a "movie star" kiss...he's getting more comfortable with the smooches.  I have to say too that I love Russ more and more because he is such a generous giving person and uncle to all of our nieces and nephews.  Russ really "took on" the "Brinks" with gusto and love.
