As we get closer to the holidays, most of us are getting ready to spend more time with our families. Most of my blog readers probably know by now that Jerry & I are pretty in love with our daughter, Isabella. She says something new everyday that brings a smile to my face, and watching her discover new things brings joy to our home. She just turned two in September and it truly amazes me what a difference a year makes. Last year at the holidays, we dressed her up and she got presents under the tree… but it mostly consisted of me opening them and thanking people since Bella didn’t really notice She hated being outside in the cold and was not interested in helping me make cookies.

This year has proven to be a completely different experience She is talking up a storm these days, and tells me there is snow on the ground each day She tells me she wants Elmo toys and wants to go to Disney World for Christmas. She says… “I love you mommy…soooo much!” She tells me to take her picture in the snow So here are just a couple of casual shots I took of Bella in snow … hoping that it helps remind us all of the magic of season
