Gamma is here!

We've had a very busy week! My mom arrived last Friday evening and we've done nothing but go, go, go since then! We put our tree up, visited Colonial Williamsburg and Monticello, went to see Santa Clause (which was every bit as sad as it looks in the picture- LOTS of tears), rode on a carousel, and did lots of shopping. Bella took to her Gamma right away and I'm sure will be very sad to see her leave on Sunday. But we've still got two days left before then!!!

I love Christmas- just love everything about it. My heart is so full and happy this year!
The tree and fireplace. Isn't it lovely? :)

Peek-a-boo!

Uh oh! That belongs on the tree!



Bella crying on Santa's lap. It quickly escalated into full-blown hysteria from here. The picture we got printed is actually of Bella screaming and reaching out her arms to her Gamma to save her! So sad, but SO cute.

On the carousel, which she loved! Riding horses of any sort is a big hit this year!

Who else looks this cute when they first wake up? Especially on a wild hair day!
