Merry Christmas to All!

We had a very Merry Christmas and we sure hope that you did too! This Christmas was filled with good times, family, lots of fun, and plenty of good gifts!! Thanks to everyone for making this Christmas (Peyton's first Christmas) such a memorable one!

Christmas Eve was a blast, we opened gifts with all of our cousins and played into the night! We had a wonderful crowd at our house on Christmas morning... Granna and Aunt Allie; Paw Paw and Nana; Uncle Troy, Aunt Jenn, Kalynne, Hannah, and baby Campbell; Aunt Liz and Uncle John... so much fun! The Christmas Day weather was beautiful! We enjoyed a little front yard football and some outdoor neighborhood fun.

 

 

We finished up our family Christmas celebrations on Sunday afternoon at Grandpa's house... we had fun visiting Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Ree and Uncle Rick. Enjoy the last few days of 2009 and get ready for an even better 2010!! Love... The Bell Boys

Happy Birthday, Aunt Allie!

Happy Christmas Eve to all... and Happy Birthday to our Aunt Allie (who turned 22 today)!! We love you lots and had tons of fun celebrating with you!

We leave you with wishes of blessings and joy as you celebrate the season!  

Love... The Bell Boys

Christmas CUTIES!

 

 

 

 

 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Christmas parade, Christmas program, Christmas pajamas... the Christmas season is in full swing!! On Thursday night we enjoyed the Nederland lights parade with Mommy and Aunt Allie (Peyton stayed warm at home with Daddy)! On Friday night Ryan and I went with Mommy, Aunt Allie, Granna, Nana, and GeGe to watch the Whimsical Christmas program! Here is a picture of Ryan and Mommy before the show.

On Saturday, Ryan and I went to Grandma and Grandpa's house to help decorate the Christmas tree in "Grandpa's Hideout"... he was hunting this weekend, so I sure hope he likes our creation! The rest of the weekend was spent playing between our house and Paw Paw and Nana's! Here are a couple of pictures of us having fun before bedtime!! First a shot of Wilson tumbling off of the couch and then one of me enjoying his entertainment! He is one silly little guy!!


And here is our Peyton! He LOVES the Christmas tree. He walks around the tree pointing at the pretty ornaments {that have all been moved up out of his reach}! As he touches the tree, he says "no, no"... I guess we told him "no, no" every time he tried to take the ornaments off of the tree and now he must think that the tree is called a no no!!  He is walking all over and 'talking' up a storm... he likes to mimic the sounds that we make as we talk. He is trying hard to figure out the English language! 

Hope you have a very merry week... Dylan

A Happy Birthday for Daddy!!

We celebrated a fun birthday with Daddy!! His birthday was on Monday, but we started celebrating on Sunday with a trip to Colorado Canyon for a game of putt putt! We continued the celebration on Monday with dinner and a game of Nerf Army with these cool new Nerf dart guns that we picked out for Daddy! He loved them just as much as we did... we think!! Have a great week... The Bell Boys

Winter Snow

Even though winter is not officially here until the 21st, it sure felt like winter today!! The temperature was just above freezing and we had a little snow! It was fun chasing snow flurries, catching a few on our tongues, and then running back inside to the warmth :) Mom caught a snow flurry in this picture of me!

Peyton turned 10 months old on the 30th! He started taking steps at 9 months and over the last month he has become a little walker... it is so much fun to watch those little legs move!! He likes to play "catch" by passing the ball to us and then reaching out for us to pass it back. He reaches up high when we say touchdown, and he says his own version of touchdown (it is a 2 syllable sound anyway)! When we say "no, no" he usually stops what he is doing... at least long enough to echo our "no, no" in his raspy little voice! Mommy told him "night, night" and he repeated her, but just kept on playing... I am not sure that he knows what that means quite yet! Anytime he wants to eat, he says "more" as he makes the sign for more with his hands - he hasn't gotten the initial "hungry" down yet, but we know what he is talking about when he says more!! He loves to give us kisses, clap his hands {when he is excited or when he wants to be picked up}, and he loves to play with his big brothers. Nothing can make him laugh like we can!!

Stay warm and cozy... Ryan

Happy Turkey Day!

This Thanksgiving we have so many things to be thankful for, but this year our family is most thankful that we have one more Bell Boy in our life! It was a joy to celebrate Peyton's 1st Thanksgiving and we are looking forward to this holiday season and celebrating the last "First Christmas" in our family!!

Uncle Cliff, Aunt Meredith, and Carter visited us this Thanksgiving! We had so much fun playing, and playing, and playing!! We tried working out a deal so that Uncle Cliff and Aunt Meredith would leave Carter here with us, but they insisted on taking their little Bell Boy back to Frisco! Here is a picture of 5 Bell Boys supporting their Aggies...Gig 'Em!!
