Isabel's FIRST birthday and SURPRISE announcement!

Isabel had a blast at her FIRST birthday. She had many of her friends, cousins, and family there to celebrate with her! The weather was just nice enough to break the pinata outside.  Isabel loved the cake her grandma made for her.

She's 9 months!

Isabel is 9 months old and really enjoyed celebrating her first Christmas!  She is now at a full steam crawl.  She pulls herself up on her own and enjoyed climbing on top of all her presents. She's eating solids on her own.  She especially loves her Grandpa Brandt's chowder and Grandpa Cambray's flour tortillas. 

May you have a blessed Christmas!
