Finally Sunday...

Well what an eventful Sunday to wrap up our week long blogging spree.
The day started off with Church (although we didn't quite make it to church as we usually do). We watched our service on TV, so we could head up to OKC at a decent time. YES, for all of you Canadians, it is actually a BIG thing here to video tape Church services and live stream it on tv.
Bella sure enjoyed watching our choir sing:
VIDEO UPLOADING...

Before we headed out, Bella opened up one of her presents. She loved it. Although would get a little frustrated trying to maneuver it around the house.
Then it was off to OKC for Bella and I to fly out to Billings for Christmas (Ben to come in a few days). We made it a.o.k to Denver and then...

Well we had a few problems. Our flight was supposed to take off at 9:15pm, but was delayed due to weather in the East until 12:15. I thought for sure Bella would tucker herself out and fall asleep well before then, as she only slept for 45 minutes on our car ride up to OKC... But no, this little girl was wired. She not only didn't go to sleep... she ran and played all over the Denver airport. Here are some pics to prove it:
This photo was taken at 7:30 at the beginning of our journey:
This photo was taken at 11:37 Belly running like a mad woman through the halls:
This photo at 12:42 For some reason she was liking my water bottle:
This photo at 1:25... as you can see with every photo she is looking more bright eyed... at this point I couldn't believe that she wasn't sleeping. I was just SO THANKFUL she didn't scream the whole night like a fellow toddler traveller:
And finally this photo at 1:43 (Oklahoma time). Bella has finally tuckered herself out. This was just before we boarded the plane @ 12:43 Denver time. And about a minute later she was out... AND I MEAN OUT for the night!
And this photo is after we sat on the tarmack for a hour, before Untied cancelled our flight due to weather in Billings. We were waiting for the shuttle to pick us up and take us to the hotel... After waiting 25 minutes (it was almost 3:30 in the morning), I finally decided to just pick a spot in the Denver airport and call it a night (because the airline wanted us back at the airport at 6:00 to catch our flight... there was no point in staying at the hotel. Only to find out the net morning, the shuttle never came back to get the people waiting)
This is where we (I mean Isabella) slept for the remainder of the night... behind a check in counter on the concourse.
I of course couldn't get comfortable and was paranoid to fall asleep in a public place with my child fast asleep beside me... I slept with one eye open for maybe 30 minutes.
And this is my bright eyed child after sleeping on the airport floor from 3:30-7:00. She sure did love her FREE breakfast in the morning.
Shortly after this we boarded the plane to Billings. YAY! And when we got to Billings... we slept!
