For her big day, she woke up to chocolate chip pancakes! Then, a trip to the zoo on the most beautiful winter day ever (60+ degree weather), and a dinner out with brownie a la mode spewing with warm hot fudge for dessert!! We are also going to have a small family party on Sunday. Here are a couple photos of her big day.
Mmmm. Chocolate chip pancakes!
The day before her birthday we also went the Tiny Tots orchestra. She loved it! Here she is after the performance running and playing by the statue.
We could make a list a mile long about all the things we love about Belle. Here are just few that always brighten our day and make us smile!!- The constant hugs and kisses we get ALL day long
- The hiccups every time she laughs
- When she carries mom's purse and wears mom or dad's shoes and pretends she is grocery shopping with her grocery cart (apparently we go to the store too often!)
- How brave she is with EVERYTHING! The pool, spending the night with Nana/Papa, Grammy/Pepe, hiking, tumbling
- Her sentimental side-she cries and laughs all the time in movies or books
- Her absolute love of books
- When she runs and pumps one arm back and forth and shouts ahhhhhh
- Calling Sierra WahWaWa
- When she sings (which is all the time)
- Saying "shhhh" when we go hiking in the woods so we can listen to nature
- Her love for Kipper the Dog
- Her incredible imagination when she plays with her babies and toys
- Dancing with her tutu's on
- Her non-stop talking
- And finally, when she says "hold you" instead of "hold me." It breaks our heart into a thousand pieces because we think it is extra special that she wants to "hold us" while we hold her!! And she does it with her arms wrapped around us in the deepest, most special hug ever!
