Happy New Year everyone, hope you all had an amazing night, a great 2013 and an even better 2014!!! Here's how Isabella and I spent the turning of the year....fast asleep!!!!

Isabella testing out her new scooter on the bumpy path outside....only a slight mishap at the end, but she loves it and is on it virtually all the time without any accidents!!!!

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you had a lovely day....we certainly did! Isabella fully understood what to do with a wrapped present by the end of it, it took a very long time to open everything as she had to stop and play with everything before considering moving on to the next present.

Santa brought her a stocking and she used most presents as a phone.....

Putting on her new headband and then wanting them all on!

It's like magic! You draw, push the button and it disappears so you can do it again!!!!

She was fascinated by her dog torch, his mouth opens for the light and he barks as well!!! Hours of fun!

 Insisting we put in every hairclip that she got!

Choosing which toy to open next, and then playing with it before moving on!

Putting on her jewels, briefly, before becoming mesmerised by the ballerina in the jewellery box!!

The biggest and heaviest present!

 And it was a scooter - caused a 20 minute delay in opening anything else and she's barely been off it since!

Her dressing up clown's 'hat'!!

And we're off!

I think that maybe someone has been watching Daddy playing on his computer game a bit too much!!!!!

I needed a lovely picture of Isabella face on with her gorgeous smile out......here is a very small selection of the 53 pictures I took trying to get it - and I ended up using the 2nd one!!!

Somehow I don't think she has entirely understood the whole 'hiding to scare someone' concept!!!
 

Our Christmas tree this year. Isabella got very involved in handing us everything and telling us exactly where it had to go on the tree!! Trying to get her to sit or stand still long enough for a photo was much harder!!!!
