Congrats to Jas!

Bella got to spend a wonderful weekend with her Nana Bev and Pop, who came to Texas for Jas' dedication. It was great spending time with them, and Bella loved all the attention she got. Here she's bowling with Nana and eating yummy Italian with Pop.
On Sunday, we got to celebrate in Jas' dedication. It was quite a site to see.... both the large church and the adorable monkey loving the spotlight. Bella patiently sat through the entire service, but it wasn't too hard when there was so much to see and she loved watching all the singers. After the dedication we had a slurp-tastic spaghetti lunch! Jas loved her new bell from Pop, as you can see.
Finally, last weekend we rang in the new holiday season at the Rowlett Holiday Parade. Armed with donuts and warm drinks, we were ready to brave the chill in the air. This was really the first parade Bella recalls, so it was interesting to see how she'd respond. She loved it! The policecar and fire truck sounding their horns and sirens made her giggle with delight. The candy all the kids threw out happily kept her attention, and she eagerly scooped it all up! I guess we'll definitely be seeing more parades in our future!
