christmas eve

christmas eve was a little different this year... our household seemed to be a bit plagued by the "winter cough/cold/sniffles" so marni wasn't feeling very well. she & pepere stayed back home and jason, mommy & bella headed to church. it was buckhead church's very first christmas eve service~ it was great... andy stanley was there live and the music was wonderful... and to top it off they had hot chocolate w/ whipped cream for everyone~ my favorite! yum, yum! we sat w/ our friends chris & ariel and their little girl, aubrey, who is bella's friend. afterwards all 6 of us headed to maggiano's in buckhead for dinner. while we were waiting aubrey headed for the stairs in the main foyer of the restaurant. ariel wanted to go over and keep an eye on her, so bella and i went too... before we knew it, bella was climbing the stairs~ apparently aubrey is a pretty good teacher! : ) we were seated shortly after and our meal was delicious... we are so thankful for such wonderful friends! afterwards we headed home and bella was more than ready for bed! then mommy (& daddy helped a little : ) put the presents under the tree and we watched christmas vacation w/ pepere.

loving the glass table at maggiano's~ bella could see her reflection
playing with her friend aubrey

hanging w/ pepere upon getting home
big smiles~ bella can't wait for christmas morning!!
