Happy 2nd Birthday Bella!

Our Beautiful girl is 2 years old today! I can't believe how the time has flown by. She is above average is smarts, and as independent and strong willed as Eric and I put together. We are the happiest parents in the world with our precious toddler. I can't wait for many more years to come. This just gets better by the day.

So Happy Birthday big girl! Mommy and Daddy are so so proud of you!

Lawrence Christmas Parade

This weeks Memorable Monday is brought to you by the Lawrence Christmas Parade. This past Saturday Bella and I had an exciting day filled with a Birthday party, parade and even a second Thanksgiving. The morning began with Bella's friend Sadie's 2 year birthday party. Sadie is part of The "Mommy Mafia" a group of friends and I who all met at a nursing support group and became great friends. We do playdates, lunch dates, mommy's night outs, and a book clubs. It's a wonderful group of amazing women who have been so important to me these past two years. Sadie and Tara are all within a week old of Bella so we enjoy having December birthdays together. Sadie's birthday was a blast and we all headed downtown to enjoy the Christmas Parade. Bella LOVED the horses. Whenever there was a gap between groups she looked very concerned as she asked me "More Horsies?" or "where'd horsies go?" At one point she stood up in the street, looked at me in great earnest and said "Horsies beut-i-ful." I readily agreed, they were beautiful. We saw donkeys, ponies, and all types of horses imaginable. Then afterwards we headed to lunch at The Orient (not our best visit, service was very slow, and food was half amazing, half awful).


























































On the way home Bella fell asleep for nap and was so out that Eric and I got her inside, took off her hoodie and a couple of layers before tucking her in bed, without even waking her up. Sometimes it amazes me how well she sleeps. Nap did take a bit longer than expected so we missed the majority of the Lampe's Thanksgiving part deux, we did make it over in time to meet a couple of their friends and do some grazing.

It was an outstanding Saturday, our Next few weekend are packed with Holidays and Birthdays and I'm looking forward to it all. Speaking of Birthdays, a shout out to Miss Evelyn Jones!! Happy 4th Birthday! I can't believe Evey is 4, I remember holding her in the hospital, snuggling with her over the following summer, watching her grow and thinking how amazing it would be to have a baby girl. Now I love watching her play with, snuggle and enjoy hanging out with Bella. Hooray for dear Friends who become Family. So cheers to the Jones Clan and Happy Birthday Evey!
