Christmas 2008



Prior to Christmas we had a special gift delivered from Arizona! A visit from Bethany, Steven, Juliana and Amelia!! We spent the day playing, eating and catching up. Isabelle loved playing with her friends and Dad felt outnumbered (5-2, Girls to Guys - Thanks Steven) with all the princesses!!



A few snapshots of Isabelle enjoying the festivities leading up to Christmas!! She loves saying hi to Santa, looking for Santa by the fireplace, looking at the village scenes and all and all being crazy while she dances to Christmas songs!!





A nice picture of Mary, Isabelle and me on Christmas Eve in the "Hood"! We kept with a great familiy tradition and spent Christmas Eve at George's parents. A special thanks to Grammy and Grampy for hosting us and the whole crew of neighbors including Drew, Amy, Lindsey, Bob, Sue, Lisa, Danny, Eddie and Toni. Isabelle was a trooper and loved hanging out as she kept us all on our toes!!



Isabelle on Christmas morning! Maybe she woke up too early :-)






Isabelle had a great Christmas morning at Grammy and Grampy's house opening her presents. She is a spoiled brat but what else can you expect from Santa's #1 elf!!

Even Santa's elves need to sleep....Isabelle took a little rest on the way to Nana and Papa's house on Christmas afternoon.

Isabelle and her cousin Felix (ie Mr and Mrs Claus) extending a Merry Christmas to each other on Christmas!!

A soon to be famous rendition of the Holiday Classic "Jingle Bells" sung by a handful of Isabelle's cousins on Christmas night!

:-)

We met up with Tyler, Julianna, Fern, and Kelly at Andrea's Christmas Party! It was great to see everyone while eating, drinking and catching up!!

Isabelle is also a happy camper :-) A special thanks to Nana and Papa for watching Isabelle last week while Mary and I hung out with Christina, Pete, Melissa and Amanda!! Isabelle loves using her very expressive eyebrows :-)



Isabelle and her crazy hair just before bed time!!

On Saturday, we cut down our Christmas tree. Isabelle had lots of fun picking out her special tree. She picked one that gives Santa plenty of space for her presents!!
Isabelle was a bit under the weather a few weeks ago and she is hopefully on her way the road to recovery. She is running all over the place, very curious and loves to play!! She has started to dance and loves to listen to all kinds of music - especially Christmas music these days!! We hope everyone has a great week and we hope to see you all over the next few weeks!
