Be My Valentine

I helped Belle make Valentine sugar cookies. They were heart-shaped and Belle decorated them herself using sprinkles and candy hearts. The cookies were very tastey!

Snow, Snow and More Snow!

We got about 4 inches of snow and what seemed like 2 or 3 inches of ice on top of the snow. I took Belle out to make a snowman, which was difficult because of the ice.

Christmas 2006

We spent Christmas Eve at my Mom's house. Belle had a lot of fun opening all of her gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Dobyns. My sister gave Belle hairclips and headbands and Elmo. My Dad gave Belle a babydoll. It was nice to have everyone together for the holidays.

I'm Two!!!

Belle turned 2 on January 8th. I can't believe she is two already. She has grown up so much over the past few months. She had a strawberries-n-cream cake and she loved every bite of it! She actually had two birthday parties...one at Grandma Dobyn's house and another party at the Ports. She goes crazy over birthday balloons, so I made sure that she had balloons for her birthday. I will be posting more pics from her party soon.

Our Gingerbread House

Belle and I made a gingerbread house today. As soon as I started applying the icing to the house, Belle got right in there and dipped her finger in and started eating it. She had fun eating the candy too :)

Tiny Dancer

While Belle "helped" decorate the Christmas tree, she wanted to wear her tutu skirt and dancing leotard with her ballet shoes. She was dancing around the tree. She LOVES to dance! I took her to see the Nutcracker Ballet last week and she watched the ballet dancers for 2 hours. Oh...and she has a candy cane in her mouth :)

Busy in the Kitchen

Belle is busy fixing her own Thanksgiving dinner :) I bought her a pink apron and her own set of oven mitts.

Leaves Everywhere!

While I was busy raking leaves, Belle was jumping in them. She had so much fun! Belle's word for outside is "soutside" :)

Little Reader

Belle decided to read a few books to her baby doll. She is still in her pajamas :)
