Christmas 2009

I was super excited this year for christmas because Bella is older and would be able to understand alot more of whats going on.. It was so cute Bella would go around saying santa ho ho ho(sometimes she would only do one ho and point at people that wasn't too good)..I took Bella to visit Santa when he was in town but she didnt want anything to do with him I was sad she wouldn't sit on his lap or even stand by him. The best part of the Holidays is spending it with family but this year was hard with my parents being divorced but we made the best of the situation and had a great time! In times like these I feel like my little family gets closer and stronger because we spend more time just with each other!
For christmas eve we had a lot of fun at my sister in laws jillene's house.. Bella absolutly loves playing with her cousins and us grown ups had fun playing games! Bella's christmas gift to us christmas morning was sleeping in till 9:30 i know i need to be grateful to that because when she is older im sure she will be up really early to see if santa came! Bella loved opening the gifts i think more than actually playing with the gifts! Some of Bellas favorite gifts from santa are her princess table and chairs, braclets and necklaces, elefun game, play dough, and lots of fun little people cars,she must have been good all year because santa spoiled her rotten!! Its so fun to see the magic of Christmas thru a little girls eyes!

My baby is Two!

I can not believe my little Bella is two..the time has gone by so fast it feels like just yesterday we were in the hospital receiving the best Christmas gift ever!! Bella brings us so much joy to our lives. I love that she makes me laugh and smile everyday and I love how she is learning and growing everyday..Bella is such a smart little girl everyday I am amazed how much she knows! We had a great little birthday party for her a few weeks before her actual birthday and she loved every minute of it!! Here are a few pics from her party..

Bella loved all her toys! Having a baby so close to Christmas is always going to be a challenge but I try my hardest to make it separate from Christmas so she still feels like its a special day.. My mom was always so good at making us feel so special on our day and its my goal to do the same..

Bella's favorite thing right now is Dora the Explorer from the moment she wakes up she is ready to watch Dora, she loves books and coloring and I enjoy coloring and reading to her as well..She also likes to play with her babies and she is so cute with them she rocks them to sleep and sings twinkle twinkle she is such a good mommy already!! Even though this is the beginning of the terrible twos I'm looking forward to every new day!!

Family Pics

So we had our family pictures taken in september but im just getting around to blogging them! Bella is so much like me when i was little I never would smile for pictures instead I would have a little pouty face! here are some of my favorites!

Funny way of sleeping

So after I put Bella to bed she cried for a while and then finally gave in. Just before me and Aaron go to bed we always check on her to see if she needs her blankets back on etc... To our surprise this is how we found Bella sound asleep! We laughed so hard.

I guess she was just too tired to get all the way into her bed!! At least her head was comfy on her pillow

Halloween Fun

We had a few days of Halloween Fun! I really enjoy this Holiday and I try to make it fun for Bella even though she doesn't really understand it all! One of the first things we did was go to a Halloween party at Bellas favorite cousins Mayce and Riley's house they had lots of fun playing and painting pumpkins! Bella loves Pumpkins she called it momma pumpkin i thought it was cute! I made some yummy Halloween fingers! And Bella looked just too cute in her Halloween outfit

On Thursday I finally went and bought a pumpkin and there was hardly any left so we just got one and Bella didn't like touching the insides very much but she did enjoy eating it which was very odd to me and she just loved the seeds! We bought a cute little kit that had like light brights and it made it easier for Bella to have a part in it!

Then on friday we went to help out at my nephews party and they had a little haunted house and we dressed up and tried to scare all the kiddies!! For Halloween we went trick or treating in old town poky to all the little shops and that was fun and then we went to the churck to trunk or treat and Bella got tonz and tonz of candy and we also came home with a new kitten!! For those who don't know we got a kitten a few weeks ago and then it went missing and Bella was so sad and so this kid was giving it away and it was too cute to say no to! But all in all we had a great time and I hope Bella enjoyed it as much as me!

A day at the Zoo

So after a day at Lagoon we decided to go to hogle zoo the next day! we had a lot of fun and I was so excited that my dad was able to go with us and enjoy his grand baby!

Aaron, Bella and Papa!

Bella loved the monkeys i think cuz we always call her a monkey girl!

I thought it was cute that with this huge tiger Bella just thought it was a nice little meow meow

It was a great day and i was glad to spend it with those that are dear to my heart!
