Turkey Time

We just returned from a trip down to Virgina for Thanksgiving. It was great to see everyone, and Bella really enjoyed her time at all the various places playing, seeing animals, and of course, eating. We first saw Grandma Belinda at the SPCA, so Bella was in awe of all the animals. She was taken with these little kitty cats and was sad we couldnt take one home. We stayed with Pop and Nana Bev so that was a treat! Bella loved her doll and tutu that Nana Bev made. She played princess and made wishes come true while we were there. Thanksgiving was so much fun with all the kids playing together. The weather was so nice on Friday we took the girls to the park to play. All in all it was a long drive for them (luckily they slept most of the time in the car) but we were thankful to be with great family and friends for the holiday. 

Trick or Treat

Happy Halloween! We are still enjoying the fall season, but that hasn't stopped Bella from playing dress up everyday in all her many dresses. Initially she wanted to be a princess for Halloween, and then one day it was a bride. Thus, she appears as the beautiful bride above, complete with the veil and garter. Evelyn had several tough choices for costumes but decided to be a skeleton. This was the first year for Bella to go trick-or-treating. It turned out to be a chilly night, but we were able to hit about 30 houses in 20 minutes in Erin's neighborhood. And the goody bag Nana Bev made for Bella was packed! She really enjoyed the trick-or-treating experience and is already talking about what she wants to be next year.

Our little lady has been Evelyn has started to eat baby food. She has shown such an interest in food, and she even tries to eat our food. The other night we were eating popcorn and she grabbed the bag in an attempt to help herself. Needless to say popcorn went all over and she stuffed in a piece of the package into her mouth. Guess the sweet potatoes and green beans at dinner wasn't cutting it. She is so long and so chunky she is already in 12 month clothing, and she just turned 5 months!
