Bella's 1st Birthday Party

Before we left for the Philippines, we threw Bella her 1st birthday party at Maggianos. We had a lot of fun seeing people we haven't seen in forever, we had a magician who was fantastic, all in all a good time.

So I just realized that Mark, Bella, and I have been on the go since around Thanksgiving. Every weekend there has been something going on from Thanksgiving at Tom's house, visiting Andrew in Wisconsin/Minnesota, Christmas, New Years, Bella's first birthday party, the Philippines, and Bella getting sick. So we're finally taking a break. I don't think we have any plans in the immediate future, so it'll be nice just staying at home, fixing up our things, and definitely baby proofing this house! So it's really early in the morning now. Apparently Bella and I are still jet lagged, and we slept all afternoon. Bella fell asleep at around 1pm, then I fell asleep around 2ish. Mark came home at 5:30ish and said hello to us, then left for his haircut. When he came home around 8, Bella and I were still asleep! We didn't officially wake up until around 1am when Mark forced me to wake up to take my meds. So hopefully I'll have more energy later on today to share the bday pictures and x-mas pictures. But for now, here's the Philppines pictures. Enjoy!
FYI: Bella is so much better, you wouldn't even know she was hospitalized for 3 days!
