Turkey & Tubing

Our Thanksgiving was amazing. Our meal actually turned out, which was surprising for having never cooked a turkey before. Today, to end our fabulous holiday weekend, we took Bella to the mountains to play in the snow, then we finished off the afternoon and evening with a Thanksgiving dinner with my family. For all of you who may be wondering how Bella liked tubing...let's just say she likes going up-hill a whole lot more than going down-hill.

Jolly Good Times

As the holiday season approaches, we seem to really be in good spirits. Christmas is going to be so much fun this year! We have already started decorating our little home and Bella LOVES all of the pretty things that come with Christmas. Today was a fabulous day! We started off the morning with a nice fire and some Christmas tunes while Bella did her usual Saturday morning monkeying around. Later, we went to Ballard to show Bella what Santa's reindeer (Dasher and Blitzen) look like in person at Swansons nursery (thanks aunt Kelly for letting us know about that =]). We had some Dicks burgers and Bella enjoyed some Dicks french fries! All in all it was a wonderful day and we are getting so pumped for the holiday season, something about having a toddler at Christmas is just SO much fun!

Pop Pop Pop!

Bella loves her popper!

Disney On Ice

Bella and Mommy went to Disney on Ice tonight! It was so much fun! At first I was very nervous about the impending melt downs, however Bella was on her best behavior and she really enjoyed herself. We got her a bucket of popcorn and she was set. She danced, clapped, and pointed the entire time. Bella's favorite performance was Lion King, she danced and clapped the most during Lion King. She got a little antsy towards the end, but no crying (which was amazing for a 2 hour show with no room to move around at all). I am so glad we were able to go!

Let Me Tell You 'Bout My Best Friend

Bella and Samara are so cute together these days. Bella really looks up to her and tries to do everything just like her. I think I see a life-long friendship in the making.

Cartoons And Crazy Hair

A couple cute pictures of Bella and Sam dancing around to the fresh beat band, one of Bella's favorite shows.

Up To No Good

This would be Bella's "I am up to no good" face. Take note and be afraid, very afraid. Hehe!

The Best of Times

These are the best days of my life! I get to play with my wonderful kid all day. I cherish these moments so much, because I know that eventually I will have a job and be unable to spend every moment with my monkey. Even a simple day at the park is the most fun when sharing it with such a fun and awesome kid!

Halloween

We hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween! We had a blast! We took the kids trick-or-treating around 2 neighborhoods and Bella even carried her own candy bucket to the door to get her candy. I have a feeling Halloween is going to get more fun every year!
