Belated update from Mississippi

Belle and I have been pretty busy these last few weeks and blogging has taken a back-seat to spending time with Grammie and Grandad in Mississippi, shopping for Christmas presents, getting ready for the Festivus party (this last Friday), and lots of playing and parties.

In Mississippi Grammie set up a tea party for the little ones on Thanksgiving... here are Belle's second cousins on Pat's side of the family.

While in Mississippi we were able to get someone to take a few family photos of the gang.

We tried to get Belle to say "Gobble Gobble" and "HoHoHo" - this was day one of her trying to learn... the Gobble Gobble is so funny because it is such a hard word to say.

Belle's new found obsession is the camera. She throws a complete fit if she can't have it when I pull it out --- which makes it very hard to take photos.
