crazy week

What a week...I got the camera out and of course had a great week of pictures. Since I took off Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to study (and relax), I had a great time with Bella before and after school. Here are pictures to document our week...

On Wednesday, she insisted on wearing her bear backpack all morning, while playing peek-a-boo behind her door. Closing and opening her door is a big thing right now.Friday night, we figured it was a great time for christmas pjs and hat! Okay, she wasn't too thrilled with the hat, but I thought it was too cute, so I distracted her and let her play with the tree and ornaments.

Today the three of us headed to the mall...best time to christmas shop - 9 am on a Sunday morning - it was completely empty. We saw Santa...no smiles in the picture, but no screaming either! I thought this was adorable, Joel and Bella holding hands going into the mall...so of course I had to take a picture.

Tonight we finally got to hang out with the Oestreichs! Bella hadn't seen Logan since his birthday in September, so it was so much fun watching them play together. Here is Logan and Bella this year in their pjs...

...and this was Bella and Logan last year in their pjs. How much they've grown in a year.
Sharing toys and holding hands...ahhh...well it was a lucky shot because most of the time they didn't want to share.

It's so hard to believe how much they've grown and aren't babies anymore :( This is playtime before they got into pjs.
