Christmas with the Ford Family

Honey helped Isabella open her presents.
We celebrated Christmas Eve and Isabella had a blast!

Isabella's Papa gave her a hat just like his.

She loved the wrapping paper as much as the wonderful presents she received.

This is the picture of one happy kid. She loved her first Christmas!!!

Rain drops on Roses and Wiskers on Kittens....these are a few of my favorite things.

Isabella got an AMAZING train from her Gigi. It lights up, sings, chooo choos, and it even has blocks that stack and move!


Honey and Papa gave Isabella a Leap Frog play table. It can teach her colors, letters, shapes and numbers. You can also flip a page in the book and it plays different tunes. Isabella LOVES, LOVES the music side or page. She likes pulling up and banging on all the parts to make great music.


Yes, she loves this box. She discovered it while I was putting out Christmas decorations and we've taken it with us everywhere this month. She likes to bang on the box. She likes to pull toys out, dump toys out, and sometimes put them back in the box. What fun.


This kid is fascinated with books. As a mom and a teacher I would like to believe that it is a great love for reading that we have instilled in her... however, I think it's just because she totally enjoys turning pages these days. Santa brought her a new cloth book to add to her diaper bag collection.


Diane, Jim and Natalie gifted Isabella with a tutu. Robert helped her open the box and he looked at me like, "What is this?" I wasn't so sure if Isabella would wear it, but we put it on her and she thought it was GOOD STUFF. She had a great time pulling on the ribbon, patting the tule (SP?), and running her fingers through the flower. He cousin to be, Kaya Lynn, got an infant sized tutu. When we go visit the Cowards at Spring Break we will get pictures of the girls in their ADORABLE tutus. STAY TUNED!

Can't get enough....COW

Isabella has started to get more and more interested in the cow. We snapped some pictures of her and her new playmate the other day... ENJOY!

O Christmas Tree

SANTA and BABY

We are parents...silly parents, and we waited in line with Isabella to get a glimpse and a few photo ops with Mr. Claus. The pictures below show our waiting in line (2hrs) and finally our Santa visit.

Starting to get tired.



Second wind = goofy smiles and bubble blowing



Checking him out....

Note: We did pay the fee to have the right to use them online and make our own prints.

Snow Day

Friday, December 4, it snowed! We made history here in Houston, the earliest snowfall on record. Schools let out at noon. Robert got home at 2:00. We didn't get the 2-4 inches the weatherman had mentioned, but we did get afternoon of fun and snow.

Look who's coming to dinner?

Robert won Chick-fil-A for a year and with his winnings came a HUGE stuffed cow. He decided a few days ago to invite the cow to the table during dinner. Isabella cracks up each night when Robert makes the cow wave at her. It's hysterical to watch. If Robert gets in her line of view she will lean all over her chair trying to get a peak at the cow. I tried to get it on camera tonight for your enjoyment!
