Christmas Time, Missing Teeth, Moving Forward

Life continues to be ever changing, multiple obstacles thrown our way, my health becoming more of an issue, but somehow we are moving forward.

Our little Bella has lost TWO teeth this month, I can't believe it, she is growing up far too fast!  I'm so proud of our little girl, she pulled both of them herself, yes they were extremely loose and just ready to fall out but still she pulled them out :)  She is in awe of how sneaky the tooth fairy is, she tried to stay up for her but couldn't do it.

She lost her second tooth on Christmas Eve at our house, we always spend Christmas Eve night at my parent's house.  We took the tooth with us and Bella was so excited that the tooth fairy managed to find her and the tooth at Grandma and Grandpas house :)

Christmas was pretty wonderful, besides my fainting spell on Christmas Eve (the fourth one in a week).  We had a great time with my siblings and their families and my parents of course.  We played Pepper, ate way too many sweets, opened so many gifts and played our annual Christmas Eve game of Risk, I got fourth this year.  I was kind of sad but then again happy because I got to go to bed at 2:30 am while the rest had to stay up to finish the game :)

Bella and Evey Belle, they are so close, love watching their amazing cousin bond growing.


This is our beautiful "snow lady" as my sister Mindy calls her.  We didn't get out for the wet, heavy snow it was powder by the time we got out, but with Kyle and my father-in-laws help we got one made :)

Bella was so excited to get a lot of Barbie house furniture from my parents for Christmas....


She was even more excited when she opened gifts at home and got her new Barbie house!  She really couldn't believe it :)  My father-in-law built it out of an old bookshelf we had and I decorated it.  We'll add some other stuff to the walls eventually, but it is a pretty awesome Barbie house :)


I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and has a very happy New Year.  We are hoping and praying for a good 2013, the past few years have been quite a struggle.  I'm ready for a good year, less stress, a good job for my husband hopefully, better health for me (the less stress would help with that greatly as it seems to be the cause of my continual fainting spells), continued good health for Bella along with Bella continuing to love school as much as she does :)

Bella is the light of our lives, without her I'm not sure how we could get through half of what we've gone through.  Her smile, hugs, kisses, sweet disposition and even her sassiness get us through a lot, we are so blessed to have her!
