We're off to see the Wizard...the wonderful Wizard of Oz!

Belle wanted to be Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz for Halloween...red, ruby slippers and all!!! She can recite every song from the movie including the munchkin one...lol. She went trick-or-treating with her Dad this year.

Let it Snow!

This was the first snowfall of the season. Belle woke up and was so excited because she finally got to wear her snowboots : ) It was the perfect snow...light and fluffy. It had snowed just enough to make everything pretty ; )

From the Pumpkin Patch

My mom picked out a pumpkin for Belle to carve. We helped Belle carve a "girl happy face" on her pumpkin. It is a tradition for us every Halloween : )

Belle's First Solo

Belle participated in a talent show and here is a short video clip of her singing "Over the Rainbow" which is one of her favorite songs ; ) She wore her Dorothy dress from Wizard of Oz and a pair of red ruby slippers! She did a wonderful job...I was soooo proud of her! Belle was not nervous at all. Enjoy!

Content

Belle decided to roll around in the grass one beautiful afternoon. She looks so content and happy in these pics. She loves being outside "to smell the flowers and sit in the sunshine".

Eggs for Everyone!!!

Our families got together at my mom's house for Easter this year. We had the annual egg hunt for the kiddies. Belle and Aaliyah had a blast finding all the eggs. They found over 60 eggs and loved every minute of it. I included a pic of my bro Gavin. He helped the kids eat the candy inside the eggs : )

Happy Birthday Belle!!!

The birthday girl is 3 today! It is an honor to be her mommy : )

2008

I wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year filled with happiness!

Belle woke up Christmas morning and said "Mommy, Santa was here!" Her face was so precious and she was filled with so much excitement. We celebrated Christmas at my Mom's house. Nina and Belle's cousin Aaliyah were there too. Belle and Aaliyah had tons of fun. My Mom and Dad made the day very special for the girls. I cooked successfully cooked Christmas dinner for everyone without burning down my Mom's kitchen : ) It was so nice having the whole family together.
