Princess Halle

Our little princess striking poses. As I was looking at her in her princess jammies with her crown and her cute smile and sweet and spunky personality I was struck with how much I love her, and how I wish she would stay like this, my little girl, for forever. We sure adore this girl.

Halle has absolutely loved having this puppy. She carts her around all day!

Christmas sleepover

We started a new tradition tonight...sibling sleepover out by the Christmas tree. 

Halle's photography

Today all found all these pictures, plus about 30 more, on my camera roll. Looks like someone (Halle) got a hold of my camera and had some fun.

Halle's Christmas dance performance

Today Halle's dance class had a little performance where family was invited to come see the class perform their Christmas dance to "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas." It was very cute and Halle was proud to have Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma Lori there watching her. She is a very good little dancer and shines when she is dancing!

Strong minded sister

Our Halle girl has got a mind of her own! If she decides she wants to wear a certain thing, or do her hair a certain way, or do something by herself, that's the way it has to be! Today I was doing her hair for church and she insisted on wearing these two bows in her hair. In the beginning I tried telling her the bows didn't really match each other but she would have none of it. Of course, she looked cute as always :).

Polar Express

Over Thanksgiving weekend we went on a trip to the Polar Express! We drove five hours there and then boarded the train. Then we drank hot chocolate, ate cookies, they read us the Polar Express, and then we got to the North Pole! We drove past the lights and then Santa got on board and passed out bells to all the kids on the train. On the way back we sang Christmas carols. The kids loved it! It was very fun.
