Isabella...just being silly!

So the moment the camera comes out, Bella askes "can I make silly faces mom? Will you take my picture?"

Here is her rendition of a pirate!

She thinks this one is hilarious!

She thinks sticking her tongue out is really the show stopper

And of course the pig nose is always good for a laugh

And "fish face" is really clever!

We love this kid, she is absolutly adorable, so funny & smart, I wish she could stay this age for a little while longer...but alas, we know time is fleeting, thank goodness for technology, so we can capture every exciting moment with our girls.

Trying out the new camera...

Miss Bella being adorably silly!

Those blue eyes make me melt...what a sweet pea!

Thanks ladies for letting mommy take pictures of you today!

You were very good test subjects for my new camera...

Being snowed in...

So...the week right before Christmas...we started getting snow...lots & lots of snow!Looks beautiful when paired with Christmas lights!

Bella loved walking around in it.

We tried to make a snow man but it was too powdery

But we did enjoy feeding our birds, have to make sure all the feathers friends had Christmas dinner too!
