Preparing for Christmas
Decorating the Christmas tree was a lot of fun, and so far Marley (the cat) hasn't tried to climb it yet!
I had every intention of sending Christmas cards this year, which is why I took the pictures below, but since it's already so late into the month I've decided the blog will have to make due so...
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Love,
Joe, Michelle and Isabella
Some Other Fun Stuff In Between
Cousin Haley's 5th birthday party was a blast! We didn't get any pictures with the birthday girl, but here's one of Isabella hanging out in their car walker.
Isabella can now sit by herself without falling down, well at least she doesn't fall down right away. For this particular photo session, she sat for a good two to three minutes before toppling over, but no worries, Daddy was there to catch her.
Mommy's birthday wasn't exactly the greatest day, but Isabella always has a way of turning my frowny upside downy!
Isabella's newest toy...the bouncer!
Thanksgiving at Grandma's
We had a great time and ate lots of yummy food even though Daddy's back was hurting him the whole time. Isabella had on a super cute outfit for the big day, but the hat and socks were extremely short lived...but it's ok because she still looked adorable.
Early Thanksgiving with the Murphy Family
We went up to Dallas the weekend before Thanksgiving to have an early Thanksgiving feast with my mom's side of the family. There aren't a lot of pictures of the actual day because we were all too busy eating the wonderful food my Aunt Maddie made.
