A little bit of this and that

The past couple of weeks have been really busy! We were so blessed to have Brandon's brother Barry and his wife Christie come and visit for a weekend. They got to meet Benjamin and played with Bella nonstop! Then, we had Thanksgiving at my mom's house this year where her whole side of the family got to meet Benjamin. We also celebrated Brandon's 30th birthday!!!

Last weekend after Thanksgiving we put up our Christmas tree. Bella is old enough now to "help" in her own way. She loves the ornaments or "balls" and quickly tried to throw them but learned that's not what we do!

My parents came over to give Bella her birthday gift a little early because they're going out of the country for a month. Bella and I made little cupcakes that morning to enjoy with them.

Bella is practicing her "two" fingers. Concentrating so hard!

She loved the candles but cried when we sang Happy Birthday!

Do you think she loves her kitchen??? Haha, she's been cooking up a storm with the burners, microwave and phone that all make noise!
