Merry Christmas!

Christmas is almost here.  I think we are about as ready as we will ever be! It's going to be fun watching Bella's reactions to things this year! 

Today she and I went shopping with Danny and she spent the remainder of the day chasing zombies around the house with him! I really need to figure out where they all keep coming from! LOL!  She has been glued to her "Uncle DanDan"... she loves him so much! 

Thursday: December 25, 2014>>>
MERRY CHRISTMAS!! We had a wonderful family Christmas. Lot's of laughter and fun. I am truly blessed with the most amazing family. I love you guys so much!  Bella loved her presents and dancing around in her Christmas pj's!

Counting Down!

It's hard to believe that Christmas is next Thursday!  This year is coming to an end very quickly!!

Danny will be home on Monday!  Bella is very excited! (Me, too!!)  She has talked about "Uncle DanDan" coming for Christmas since I booked his flights!  She wants to go to the airport to pick him up.
I think she and I will be making a big batch of chocolate chip cookies this weekend for him!

Therapy was done on our bed today while we watched "Brave", followed by a bed-picnic!  Having a bit of a tummy issue again so she wanted me to rub her tummy. She snuggled up next to me after lunch and nodded off to sleep.  It is perfect snuggle weather!

"Let's have a picnic, Grammy!"  ( okay!! )

Love you little snuggle bug!

Mystery Mornings!

I never know who I am picking up when I go get Bella!

     One morning she will be "Tom-a Petty", or "Peter Parker", or "Spiderman", or "Cinderella", or "Maleficent".  Sometimes she is "Batman", "Captain America", "Rick or Daryl"..of course there are some days that she is all of them and more!  Needless to say my role changes from being Grammy depending upon whom she chooses to be! On "Tom-a Petty" day I am the "girl singer"...so I get to sing back-up to her renditions of  various "Tom-a Petty" songs!  "Frozen" days I am only allowed to sing Anna roles since she is Elsa.

I have learned to be an action hero's best friend, a zombie's worst nightmare, a Momma bear, a Princess's Prince Charming, and many more and I am loving it!  LOL!!  Life is never dull around our Precious!

Today was shopping at the Mall day with Cinderella!  She wanted Papa to come along today and he gladly agreed. We went in search of Cinderella glass slippers in the Disney Store and we wanted to build a bear and puppy at Build A Bear!   Dressed in full Cinderella attire we wandered through the Mall.  She received so many compliments on her princess dress. (Of course she had to wear her mask due to crowds and cold/flu season. Wearing her full length gloves worked great at keeping her hands germ free, too!)  We had a great time and we had a very successful shopping spree!  Paula the Puppy and Elsa Bear are now family members and slippers were found!!

She ended her shopping day on the carousel riding a horse called 'Princess'.

Wearing my shoes! (Just a little too big!)
Time to find her a pair of Princess shoes!

Bella's awesome $1.00 Cinderella slippers!!!

We made a wall-hanging
this week!

It's really looking like Christmas!

Gingerbread houses, sugar cookies, wrapping presents...and that was just today!  Bella is getting so excited about Christmas! Her present for her Daddy arrived today. To quote Bella..."Daddy will be 'cited!!! He will be so silly and act like a knucklehead!".  LOL!  (Thank you Papa for teaching her that word!)  Bella loves Christmas lights on houses so we drove around the neighborhood tonight. Tomorrow we will try to find some additional houses to view.  She has started her December calendar countdown to Uncle DanDan's arrival!

Very proud of her gingerbread houses!

 It is so hard to believe that 2014 is quickly coming to an end!  Where has the year gone??? I also can't believe that I have actually made the commitment to post a weekly blog and picture and have been doing it for two years!

We were being silly for Papa!

Bella's gingerbread house.

She is ready to make sugar cookies!
