Decorating for Christmas

Yesterday we dug out the Christmas decorations. Miss Bella got really excited, she LOVES Christmas. She excitedly watched me (and helped me) unwrap the ornaments. Bella really likes the snow globe that I have had since I was a preschooler. She likes to watch it snow and nudges the bottom to tell me to make it play music (it plays "Oh Christmas Tree"). While it plays music, a ring around the base spins and she really likes that. She stands and watches it and nudges it with her nose.

Last night we put the tree up, while listening to Christmas music. Bella was right in the middle "helping" the whole time. Then we went to the craft store to get some glass bulbs to make some of our own ornaments. I will post pictures of what we come up with. After that, we had to stop at the pet store so Bella could get out of the house for a bit. She LOVES going to the pet store and always gets a lot of attention. She got to pick out a new toy (it has not one but TWO squeakers, oh boy!). Bella loves squeaky toys, she presses the squeaker with her nose repeatedly. Needless to say it has not been very quiet around here since she brought her new toy home!

Bella also like the Christmas lights. She stands on the back porch and looks up at them at night.

We really enjoyed our Thanksgiving trip to Colorado. We ate alot of yummy food, saw Fort Collins, did a little shopping, watched football, and did the New Belgium Brewery tour.
