December Daily – Days One and Two
~December 1~ A couple of years ago, I made our first Advent cookie tree. I have always really enjoyed the process of baking and decorating the 25 cookies to be eaten over the course of the days leading up to Christmas, but I have to say that the process this year was better than ever….
Thanksgiving and a goal for December
It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas around here, and it dawned on me I had better take a break from decorating and get my act in gear to post our Thanksgiving photos before turkey is totally eclipsed by tinsel and trees. We made the trek to Ft. Worth to spend Thanksgiving at Leigh…
The kiddos
I took a few cute pictures of the kiddos this week that I thought I would share. I honestly still have moments when I take a step back and think, “Whoa – I have three children!” I know that probably sounds a bit odd, but the last couple of months have been such a blur…
Christmas duds
I am so proud of the new overalls I finished for Cecily while the older two were at MDO today! I have been coveting this adorable penguin fabric since they put it out at Hobby Lobby a while back, and I was so excited to plan matching outfits for the girls using it. (I have…

Family and food
Mid-November always means family photo time here at Chez Bell. For the last three years, Mom and Donnell have alternated turns taking our portrait for us here at the house, but this year Uncle John stepped in. He did a terrific job, and the whole process was relatively painless! Thanks so much, John! Here is…
Baptism day
Today we celebrated Cecily’s baptism, and we couldn’t have dared hope for it to go any more beautifully! Cecily was an absolute angel, perfectly content to be held by her mama in the lovely bonnet and gown lovingly made for her by her Mammo. The detail on the dress is absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so…
Fun with Leigh and John
We had a marvelous weekend spending time with Leigh and John. They arrived late Friday, and they left just after lunch today. Jack and Charlotte were truly giddy with excitement! We are all already looking very forward to our visit to Ft. Worth for Thanksgiving. So hard to believe that is just ten days away!…
