Deck the Halls

A sampling of what Baby Bella sees as she Celebrates the Christmas season around the house.

Pop Star

Bella and Mommy were watching an episode of X Factor when Bella sudden burst from her chair, found her Microphone and began performing.

A Pop Star in the making?  Who knows. But she clearly has vocal and rhythm talent. Something for which she will want to thank her Mommy.

Under the Mistletoe

Up Do - Day Two

Pigtails for day two.  So far, Bella seems to be getting it.  Although she didn't come home with her ponytail in tact yesterday.   Here's hoping.

Up Do

Tired of stringy, unruly hair, we have decided start sending Bella to school with a ponytail or pigtails everyday.  Day one  - here's hoping.

Likeness

Bella was thrilled to discover Aunt Bessie's painting of Bella enjoying winter wonderland. She recognized herself in the painting and was so excited she wanted to pose with the painting.

Prayer of Thanksgiving

Appropriately enough,  Baby Bella was caught on camera saying her favorite prayer of thanksgiving on the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

The Lord's been good to me.
So I thank the Lord for giving me, the things I need.
The sun, the rain and the apple seed.
Oh, the Lord's been good to me.
Hallelujah.

Baby Ruby Turns One

Bella had a wonderful time helping Baby Ruby celebrate her one year birthday.

Decoration Day

Daddy and Baby Bella at Cracker Barrell.  Enjoying a hardy breakfast in preparation for a long day of Christmas decorating.  Black Friday - some shop, some work, some play - decorating for Christmas is the Black Friday tradition in the House of Cain.

Thanksgiving 2012 - The Prep

If there were any justice in the world, I would have a dozen pictures of Deborah during the many hours she spent working on Thanksgiving dinner.  Instead, here are some pictures of the rest of us chipping in at the end.

I love you, Deborah.  Love what you do and how you do it.  Thank you for making Thanksgiving such a wonderful Holiday in our home.
