Happy birthday sweet, sweet Bella!

Our sweet Bella turned 4 years old today. Where did the time go?
Bella has always been a joy and a wonderful little girl. She definitely beats to the march of her own drummer- sometimes to music no one else can even hear! She keeps us laughing and always on our toes. I have loved staying home with her this year with Julia at school and the new baby coming soon. She is so much fun to be with.
Today was a great day for her. She knew it was her birthday the moment she opened her big blue eyes. Her first question was "so when are my friends coming over?" And then "so when do I get ice cream?" My mom is in town so she took Bella to get her nails painted. Bella picked light purple polish with a design of a holly. (Doesn't look as bad as it sounds.)
She got to pick what she wanted for dinner and dessert. Funny enough, we offered anything she wanted- pizza or even McDonald's- but she chose to stay home and have "mom's spicy chicken" for dinner! Chet even re-stated our offer in case she didn't understand but she was adamant on eating dinner at home. We were happy to oblige! By the way, my "spicy chicken" is pollo asada from Sprouts- SO yummy and easy!
Then we headed out for ice cream and to look at Christmas lights in our neighborhood. She ended the long day by playing with her new lego set with the biggest kid of the house (dad).
Happy birthday Bella! We love you!
Mom, Dad, and Julia
