From One Holiday To Another

Life is staying busy,of course, this time of year!

Sister bonding time

Our little Minnie Mice

Lazy Sunday afternoons...and Anna's permanent position for the past two months(Mommy gets her time too)...Noel only stays for 5-10 minutes.

Halloween with the cousins.

My favorite picture of Bella jetting across the grass as we were trick-or-treating beating all the boys to the door.

Sweet picture with Great Grandma De Long..she joined us for all the fun on Halloween.

Anna eating rice cereal for the first time. Bella being the sweet big sister that she is.

Anna learning how to sit up...maybe she will master it by 12/08 when she will be 6 months old!

11/13 Anna swinging for the first time. Fun day at the park with the girls, my mom, and my grandmother.

Grandmomma(my mom)pushed on throughout the day even though she has been in much pain needing a hip replacement.

We are thankful now that she has had the surgery and is recovering well.

After the park we went and rode the train at Northlake mall.

Weekend cabin trip 11/14. We had fun with uncle Jeremy , aunt Nichole, Jordan, and Jax.

Vogal State Park

Bella trying to squat just like daddy.

11/22
Thanksgiving with the De Long clan...the kids had fun with the tradional decorating the tree. It was fun to see Bella participate this year.(The girls outfits were planned. Jason and I did not realize we dressed alike...guess we are growing into "that old married couple")


Bella and I making Thanksgiving Day cookies.

11/28 Riding the train with Daddy at the Mall of GA.

Daddy with extra hands this year to put up the outside lights.

Look Who's Two

Bella celebrated her second birthday. We had a party at the house and Dora dropped by for some music and dance. Bella's favorite character lately is Dora the Explorer so we thought (hence thought) she would love it if she came to her party. We knew it could go either way...like it or scream. She did the latter, crying for most of the 30 minute time block Dora was at the party. She did manage to give Dora a high 5 as she said goodbye.

(at least cousin Jordan liked Dora)

Once Dora left...the party fun could get started according to Bella. She did have fun opening all the nice gifts, blowing out her 2 candle, and playing on her new outdoor play set.

Anna had fun too with Baby Henry.

The slide was a big hit. Thanks Grandmomma and Papa Joe.

Everywhere we go now Bella asks to find a slide. Even at the doctor office at her 2 year well check she was asking to "go find slide".

Bella tells Anna to slide all the time. We look forward to the days when they can both run and play together.
