Merry Christmas!


(Getting ready for Christmas Eve Candlelight Service)

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday filled with magical memories. This was a very special Christmas for my family, with our newest family member, Taylor Bell, taking part in all the festivities. Even though she is only 6 months old, she gave Christmas a whole new meaning...I love you baby girl! You are Mommy's best gift ever and I thank God for you every day!

(Taylor's adorable Christmas dress...given to her from Uncle Kevin and Aunt Carly)

(Ole! Grandma bought this for Taylor when we were in Cancun for Kevin and Carly's wedding!)

(Christmas morning...loving all these packages!)

(The Big one is from Grandma and Grandpa Fen)

(Taylor was so excited about her "Belle" doll from Grandma!)

(This present is bigger than her!)

(Mission Accomplished...all the presents opened! With crazy bed head to top it off!)

(We gave Taylor a toy where the air blows balls out of the top of it...she decided it would be more fun to have it blow in her face...too funny!)

(Taylor playing with her house from Grammy and Grandpa Fen...she loves the music and all the different buttons to push)

(Grandpa Fen teaching her how to play the piano)

(This kept her occupied forever!)

(Taylor absolutely loved the lights and ornaments on the Christmas tree...Luke took this picture and I love it!)
(More gift from Aunt Nancy and Uncle David...she is getting the hang of this)

(Taylor trying to hold onto the baseball for dear life and telling Tristan (cousin, 15 mths) "Are you seriously going to take this away from me?")

(Taylor's new trick is to fall back against the boppy and roll off...she keeps doing this over and over again)
(and she Loves it!)...side note...she has more rolls than a country dinner!=)
(Our 2nd child Maverick, who doesn't get photographed nearly enough...passed out from the exhausting week, keeping his new goose very close to him)

(Who needs a pack n play when you have laundry baskets....seriously...I think we are on to something here!)
We had an amazing week with our friends, family, baby girl, and new camera. Merry Christmas and God Bless! Enjoy the last few days of 2008!

Wow! Looks like the Bell family had a wonderful Christmas! Taylor is getting so grown up--sitting and playing by herself--don't you absolutely love this stage? It just keeps getting better and better--just when you thought you couldn't love them any more...your heart just gets bigger!
