Four Jingle Bells

I swear, Spencer smiles! Just not for the camera. We have already been told that he should be a CPA or lawyer. He does have a great smile though and a fun little personality.

Hailey loves taking pictures and is getting pretty good at it too! Here is one she took and she was so excited when she saw we were both in it. She is becoming such a big girl. Always asking "why" and "what's that" She loves puzzles and can do some 50 peice puzzles by herself! She still loves "The phantom" and is convinced that he is living in our laundry room. Today she told him" This is our home, you go to your own home" Then she stamped on him. I'm glad she is creative!!=) She is starting to say all kinds of funny things. The other day she said "That must cost 4 or 500 dollars" and she pretends like she is a bird and is sitting on her egg in her nest. So funny! We never know what she is going to come up with next! She has learned to reecognize most of her alphabet too. We are so proud of her and she is such a big help wtih Spencer. She even throws his diapers away without being asked (not the poopy ones.)

Yes, Spencer is already having cereal at night before bed. He loves food so much that he was starving all the time and waking up at all hours of the night. We were spoiled because Hailey slept through the night at six weeks. So, Blake's mom suggested giving him a little cereal. He ate it right up and was so happy afterwards that he only woke up twice that night! Hooray!

We had a great Christmas together. Our first year that we opened presents under our own tree. It was so fun to watch Hailley. At first, she was like, what is all this, but she got into it pretty quick. She loved her kitchen and especially her Princess "mypod" from Grandma. She is always tellilng me "Mom, I'm listening to my Ipod" whnever I ask her to do something. Oh great! Spencer pretty much blobbed around as you can see, but it was fun to have him, of course!

Poor guy, hates hats! But isn't he adorable?! My nephew, Dillon, totally pooped out on Christmas. cute smile! Glitter painting We went to Opportunity Village and Blake jumped on the back of the horse with Hailey.

Hailey with her best friend, the Christmas tree. Everytime she got up in the morning, she wanted us to take a picture of her by the tree. We have a tradition of getting a new ornament for each family member every Christmas. This year, Hailey got a tree ornament, Blake got a bell wreath (because we have more Bells), Spencer got a 1st Christmas bell and I got an angel ornament from Blake. We write the name and year on the ornaments and when the kiddies move out someday, they can take them with them. It's been so fun to look back on all the ornaments and remember when we got them.

Here are some fun little face pictures of my cuties.=) Spencer is our "Elf in Training" from Nana Bell, because his dad loves the movie Elf. (Notice the Elf hat in the back right corner.=)
