Bella is hilarious.  Completely unmanageable at times, but so funny.  She is addicted completely to Yo Gabba Gabba just like Anna Claire used to be.  She calls it "Doe Doe" (Yo Yo).  Andy will speak to Siri on his phone and say "Play Yo Gabba Gabba." She has observed him doing this, and then we watched her on another occasion pick his phone up and very bossily speak to it "DOE DOE!!!"  She wants Yo Gabba Gabba NOW!  LOL!

Kim kept the girls tonight while we had dinner together and did a little bit of Christmas shopping.  I am grateful for the time she spends with the girls.  She is a great spiritual influence on them.

National Peanut Festival: Anna Claire won 3rd place in the pumpkin decorating contest and 2nd place in the poster contest!  I was so proud!  She worked really hard - especially on her poster and I'm glad her work was rewarded. 

At the library, they had a book character pumpkin decorating contest as well - all three girls entered it and did a GREAT job!!  It was a popularity contest on Facebook, which annoyed the stew out of me because it doesn't take their effort into consideration.  Anna Claire won 3rd and so did Eliza in their respective age categories, but the awards mean little when its' just based on Facebook likes.  I was more proud of their effort - and Juliana's pumpkin was just as good as theirs was!  I hated to see her little heart hurt by not winning, because honestly hers really was just as good.  Next year she wants to enter the recipe contest in the peanut festival and I think she will enjoy that - she is my best kitchen helper!
