Stayin' Inn....

Bella (& her family) had a respite from the extreme cold weather...We had a gift certificate to a hotel, so decided to take a little trip with Grandma & Grandpa to celebrate a late Christmas with my brother Joe and his wife Brenda. They couldn't make it home for Christmas because of the big blizzard.

Bella loved the swimming pool and getting to sleep in the little blow-up bed. However, she really just loved having all of us in one big room (maybe it reminded her of the orphanage) :)
