It's been awhile

We have been busy lately as I am sure everyone else has during the holiday season. Grandma Diane came down the first week in December to watch Izzy for us as Barb was on vacation and it seems like it has been something everyday this entire month. We had our 6th annual Christmas party with all of our college friends, I think there were 15 in all last night so Isabel went to our friends Judy and Paul's for the night. It was her first sleep over and she had a great time, she even slept until 8am for Judy! We had a great time visiting with our friends and bowling too.

Here are a few pictures that Diane took when she was down here. Isabel loves the Christmas decorations and she is doing surprisingly well with everything.

Even the dogs ate too much as they needed a nap immediately after dinner. Here is Grandma Marica having a discussion with Lou about eating too much.

The whole family in the kitchen, where you can usually find us!

Tony carving the turkey while Louis looks on making sure he does it right!

My little turkey with her hands and cheeks full of food.

Thanksgiving Day

This year Tony and I hosted Thanksgiving again but this time my family didn't come and I wasn't pregnant! Isabel loved everything from having lots of grandma and grandpas around to eating turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberries and even pumpkin pie! The only set back was that she got two more teeth and it made sleeping a little tough (for both of us). Here are some pictures of the holiday weekend!

Taking a break from the game (they must have been not doing so well as her daddy does this too when things get a little tense).
