I’ve been a busy belle lately.
Today, we celebrated La Petite Belle’s eighth birthday at the zoo. What a beautiful morning and day!
Here are a few pics:
La Petite Belle with her good friend, Maddie, and Mama Belle

How many Hannah Montana items can one girl get in one day? Apparently, quite a bit!

Best view of an animal of the day … I seriously could have reached out and touched his face.

I know all the animals were happy to see us go.


Lunch at an Italian buffet – Pizza is La Petite Belle’s favorite food.

La Petite Belle,
You have changed our life. We couldn’t imagine it without you. You have truly brought us tremendous joy and made our little family complete. We love you with all our heart.
This is just a peek into her vibrant personality.
For example … Here’s her display of emotion at four years old, during an extremely exhausting Christmas photo shoot. She was a diva then …

and now (acting ability inherited from her father).
