get it?
Good times? Bwahahahaha! That joke never gets old. Unless you are my husband and he is officially sick of all
good jokes. Dude - I'm on a roll.
Anyways. Sorry about that.
We had an absolutely wonderful holiday. We are so incredibly blessed to have parents that truly enjoy getting together with each other so we were ALL together again this year in Denver. Ridiculously delicious food. Beautiful weather. Wonderful company. The entire holiday will make for wonderful memories for years to come. It was so fun that we declared it a tradition from here on...we'll all celebrate together every year. Here, there or anywhere in between, the Good/Bell Christmas will continue.
Campbell enjoyed her first holiday in true Campbell fashion: big bows, lots of smiles and giggles and LOTS of attention from 4 doting grandparents, an uncle & an uncle's girlfriend. (mom & dad enjoyed the extra help!) I'm pretty sure she only took naps in her grandparents' arms the entire time we were there. And she loved every minute of it.
The best part? Christmas Eve night I dreamed about Campbell & Parker. They were both there, together with Mat & I in the dream. It's the first dream I've had about Parker. Best Christmas present by far. I knew that even though Parker
wasn't there, she
was there.
I'm going stop talking and let the pictures do the talking. If you're like me, that's your favorite part of blog stocking anyways, right?
Get ready... there's a LOT.

ReplyDeletelove it so cute especially with all the hats!
ReplyDeletesuch a fun post. i love those last pics.
ReplyDeleteSuch good pics. And what a blessing that dream must have been. God is crafty that way. (Also, I loved the pic of Campbell and her Grandpa in matching bows...ha!)
ReplyDeleteevery girl needs a tutu! what were the guys racing in that picture?
ReplyDeleteMy faves: Mat's dad in the reindeer hat. Seriously, that's just freaking funny. Campbell opening her present. Campbell hugging your mom. Oh and yet again, Campbell in the pink hat. She told me to tell you that she misses her Aunt C.C. by the way. And by the way, I am glad Miss P came to you in a dream. Perfect. Gift.
ReplyDeleteHey Bethany! I'm so sorry that I've lost touch with you over the last several months. When I saw your blog today and all of your adorable pictures of Campbell it made me want to say hi =) There's nothing like a baby's first Christmas...so precious. We should get together sometime. I am due in 4 weeks, so I apologize that pregnancy and chasing a 2 year old has prevented us from grabbing lunch or having a play date. Glad you all had a blessed Christmas! Take care.
ReplyDeleteI love her Christmas morning hair bow!
