Ringing the Bell

Ringing the bell has become a tradition for our family that Brian and Ashley started when we were first married. It is something that Isabella looks forward to doing and loves doing! Lilly enjoyed ringing the bell too. Both girls loved seeing all the people walk by and put some money in the kettle.

Some friends from our Sunday school class, Ginny, Austin, and Cassidy came to ring the bell with us. We all had a fun time ringing and staying warm!

Lights in Natchitoches

Bella and Lilly loved watching the fireworks in Natchitoches! Lilly would point to them and wave at them and Bella would just watch in awe. Both girls had fun!

Lilly's First Parade....

and she slept for part of it! When she was awake, she loved the parade! Bella loved the bands and the dancers!

Tis the Season

To start off the Christmas season, we went and cut down a tree at the Christmas tree farm. The girls posed in front of the one we chose. Unfortunately, mom and dad had the hardest time getting the tree to stand in the tree stand, so we ended up using the artificial tree. The local bakery had gingerbread houses for all the children to decorate and then a tasting inside the bakery of the yummy desserts. Bella loved putting the candies on the icing!

Fun at Yesterland farm

We stopped at a tree farm in Canton on the way home from Dallas with some fun things for the kids. Isabella loved riding on the plane, dressing the scarecrow, and sliding down an inflatable slide all by herself! Lilly Ruth just watched and smiled and took it all in!
