Weekend Fun!

Last weekend, Bella really started to walk efficiently. John and I both had off for MLK day, so we had a full 3 days to spend with our girl. Then, we spent this weekend with family. We went to Outback with my mom on Saturday and then celebrated my mom's birthday with my sister on Sunday. We saw "It's Complicated" and then got California Chicken Salads from J. Chow's. I love that salad! The past two weekends were a blast...enjoy our photos and videos!

My newest favorite picture of me and Bella...Girls Rock!

Bella and I went to the park on MLK day and she went down the slide by herself for the first time. She also got to practice her walking skills on the mulch.


I Love Outback! Bella ordered her first ever Kids Menu meal from Outback. She had Grilled Chicken on the Barbie and a mashed potato. She also loved the yummy Outback bread.
Good shot of her teeth and her beautiful hat!

Watching Wonder Pets with Nena and loving it!

Bella got a hold of the shampoo bottle and proceeded to tell her life story to the bottle. She must have talked to that bottle for a full 5 minutes. Don't worry...I edited it down to less than one minute for your viewing pleasure.

Christmas 2.0

Since we weren't able to celebrate Christmas with our extended family earlier, we did it all this weekend. First, my grandparents came down from Pennsylvania on Saturday. These are my dad's parents. My mom, sister, and Christian also came over. Unfortunately, John has been very sick, so he had to stay in our bedroom the entire time! Then, on Sunday, my mom's side of the family came over. My Gigi, Aunt, Uncle Gene, Mom, Ashley, and Christian were all here. It was wonderful to see everyone, but it was a very busy weekend. John is finally starting to feel a little better, but he is definitely headed to the doctor's office tomorrow morning!
Of course you have to take family pictures when you have all of this family in town...enjoy!


Bella with her great grandparents (my dad's parents)
Bella loved all of the gifts from her great grandparents and Aunt Meg, Uncle Brian, Jacob, and Kyra! Her favorite was the "choo choo loop." It is awesome!

Four Generations! My mom, Gigi, me, and Bella :)

Sisters!

All the ladies!

We were all so happy to have Gigi with us today! Bella was especially happy to play "pat-a-cake" with her!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

This entry is everything all rolled into one! I have not been very good about the blog lately. Life has been a little crazy around here. Anyway, we hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Bella was a little French Baby Claus on Christmas Eve!

Very excited girls on Christmas morning...getting ready to open presents!

Happy New Year!

Bella has 6 teeth now and I finally got a picture to prove it!

Say Cheese!

I think most people saw this on Facebook, but I decided to post it just in case. Our big girl is walking!
