Isabella's First Christmas

So, exactly a month later, we are finally getting around to posting the Christmas pictures. As usual, we had a very busy Christmas. Christmas Eve at Anthony's Aunt Susie's, then his Mom & Dad's before heading to midnight mass. Christmas morning at our house & then off to Nana & Papa's for the finale. Whew...that's tiring just typint it. It was a wonderful Christmas. Definitely the best ever....although, I think we say that every year!

Cassie & Mark with the best present of the day. Look at her shirt...Mommy 2 Bee! Yay. That makes sister #3 that's pregnant right now. Awesome! By next Christmas there will be atleast 3 more nieces or nephews! (They started the morning off with this big anouncement before we opened any presents. After all the crying, laughing & hugging Dad follows up with, "Well, I guess Christmas is over! I don't think we can top that!") Congratulations Mark & Cassie!!!:)

The BIG 1!!!

Yep, that's right! Our little nephew, Jamal is now a whole year old. He had a great party complete with the whole family from Hawaii!:) Filled with games, presents, and of course...CAKE!

Amar, Rosie, & Luke

The cakes, made by Tina, what a pro!

Time to dig in!

Only 5 days later, our nephew, Isaiah, also turned a year old...

That is one BIG balloon!

Already digging into the cake before blowing out the candle.

San Antonio

For Anthony's birthday weekend we took a trip down to San Antonio. His family used to do this every year for his birthday, but the last time we all went was when we were still in high school. So, we decided to start the tradition back up again this year. It is such a great time to go with all the Christmas lights & decorations. It looks so beautiful & definitely gets everyone in the Christmas spirit.

Isabella & Daddy at our favorite restaurant in San Antonio...Mi Tierra...mmmm,mmmm, good!

Proud of our Papa

A couple of weekends ago Anthony & I attended the Knights of Columbus Christmas Party along with Amy, Mark & Cassie, and Mom & Dad. It was a great night with yummy dinner, dancing & just spending time with the other Knights & their wives. The coolest part of the evening....our awesome daddy received the award for Knight of the Year. Way to go Papa!!! We are so proud of you!:)

my adorable parents....so in love

December rundown

This month has been pretty busy with all the family coming home from Hawaii (YAY!!!), birthdays, & just getting ready for Christmas. So, we thought we'd cram a whole lot of that into one little post to show you all some pictures! Love to all! Enjoy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY....

to my hubby! I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, full of Turkey, shopping & of course....the amazing Aggie victory! Among it all, most of our time was spent just relaxing...as you can tell by the lack of pictures. (I really did slack off this time.) It all went by completely too fast, but we were so thankful for the time we got to spend with our family. Anthony & I are so blessed that we live so close to both of our families and are able to spend equal amounts of time with everyone for the holidays. It is hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner, but more importantly....the rest of our family will be here soon from Hawaii! YAY!!!! Christmas is going to ROCK this year!

I'm sure it doesn't come as much of a shocker...she IS what we are most thankful for this year!

Isabella & Isaiah being oh-so-cute!

Jamal, the cutie pie!

She LOVES the statue of the Blessed Mother at Nana & Papa's.
