Christmas 2012

Opening their new jammies on Christmas Eve.

New jammies and slippers....cutest ever!

Santa came!

Looks like Santa enjoyed his cookies and milk and hot coco and the reindeer enjoyed their oatmeal!

Christmas morning...oh the anticipation

So excited over the Gigantic Bear!

Finally noticing her scooter and Lyla found her stocking!



Can't remember why she was throwing a fit but it's classic Lyla. 
Bella with all her new Christmas gifts. At least she's happy!!

Look who's 5!!!

Bella turned 5 on December 19th! She wanted a pajama/pizza party so that's what she got! It turned out really cute and the kids all had a blast. She invited 8 friends because that's all I would allow. She would have had 20 if it were up to her. Social little bug! I had a girl across the street come and help with nail painting and face painting. The younger kids always get a kick out of that. She was a big help with Lyla too. We played freeze dance, bingo, telephone and some balloon games along with face and finger nail painting and pizza and cake! It was a chaotic good time! 












Bella had the best party ever!!! She was so happy with all her presents and so happy all her little friends came to celebrate! 
We love you so much Bella Patrice! You are sweet and sassy and so much fun. You are the greatest big sister ever. Lyla adores you. You are so smart and are doing so good in preschool. You are a fast learner and have always craved knowledge. You are so quick witted it's hilarious some times.  You are the most social little thing, always have so many friends to play with. You love life and I hope you always do! 
Mommy and Daddy love you so so so much!! You are our precious little girl! 
Happy 5th Birthday love bug!

My favorite thing Bella said to me recently: 
Me "Bella if you could get my socks for me that would be awesome"
Bella "if you could get them for yourself that would be awesome"

Winter Dance Recital

Bella  had her winter dance recital December 15th so we had some family over before hand for a little birthday celebration. 

Beautiful girl all ready for her recital


 She did such a great job this year. Much more comfortable and excited than last time. She is so fun and was so precious to watch her. Love my Bella girl!

Good job Bella!

Annual Bowman Christmas Party

While in Idaho Bella got her Birthday present from Mimi and Papa. And it was an American Girl doll!! She was so excited. This doll is super cute cause it looks like Bella except her hair is a little lighter. She named her doll Patrice because that is Mimi, mommy's and Bella's middle name. 



So cute, right!?

Lyla loving on baby Olive
We took a trip to the Museum of Idaho to see their Christmas displays.




Saturday night was the Christmas Party!


cute aprons aunt Erica made and sent for all the girls

Santa came to Mimi's house! And had a special present for each of the girls. Dream lights!!!

Lyla was terrified! (please ignore my ugliness)



These two love a game of twister! So funny to watch.




Thanks for the great time and special memories!!
