Visiting Santa and More Fun in the Snow

On Wednesday Jim stayed home with Bella and they had a beautiful sunny day to go out and play in the snow. Bella "fed" the reindeer in the front yard and did a great job at making snow angels.





Then on Friday night in we went to downtown Lowell and visited with Santa and his reindeer. Bella loved the reindeer and was not scared to pet them at all. It was freezing cold and it even started to snow, but Isabella did a great job waiting for the 45min to see Santa. She was excited to see him but would not sit on his lap, so Mommy got her picture taken with Santa too!

December Snow

It has been a few snowy days in a row and on Saturday Bella got to go outside and play in the snow. She did much better this year, but she kept trying to eat the snow.







Then on Saturday night in the freezing cold and snowy weather we went to Downtown Lowell and watched the Santa Parade. We were frozen solid but it was so much fun and Isabella loved seeing the lights and waving to Santa.

Thanksgiving

We had a great first Thanksgiving at our new house. Mom, Dad, Kerri, and Grandma Julie came over for dinner with Jim, Isabella and me. I have to say everything turned out great. I stressed out over it and the hardest part was just timing everything to get done on time. It was a great day and we have so much to be thankful for this year.





The table set with Thanksgiving dinner before we gobbled it all up .



On Saturday we decorated the house and tree. Our tree is an artificial one that was just the right size in our old house but now it looks really small. We will probably be getting a real one next year, or a larger artificial one. Bella got to put the angel on top of the tree.




Here she is posing by the tree, and not touching any ornaments, for the moment :)
