Annabelle...

Dear Shannon:
Thank you for dropping by two huge bags filled with dress-up clothes. Annabelle super likes playing dress-up. Alot. Just like her mama.
Loves,
Livy

















Early yesterday morning, Annabelle donned her princess attire, asked me to pop in our cd of Drew Tretick (the violinist who plays at Disneyland) which she adoringly calls "princess music", and danced to Phantom of the Opera and the theme song from Somewhere In Time.

And later at church, she always goes to Nursery with Grandma, but Grandma was busy talking with all the ladies, so she opted to come sit with me and my Sunbeam class of four year olds. She sat there next to her brother calmly and lady-like, with her little legs crossed. She was picked to come up and ring the bell during the song Christmas Bells Are Ringing because she was being so reverent and because her name has "bell" in it. She rang it twice, and then became shy when she realized the entire room full of children were watching her. She handed the bell to her big brother, and climbed up into my lap. When Grandma came in to take her to Nursery, she leaped across the room, eager to go.

Upon arriving home from church, she put back on her princess clothes. And that is how she stayed until it was time for bed. I had Daddy snap a few pictures of her.
