Christmas 2010

First plane ride: headed to Houston for an early Christmas celebration and to meet Rush's family!

Family picture in process. It was quite the experience!

Isla's First Trip to Houston

Ugly Sweater Party

Rush and I wanted to have a Christmas party but we wanted to make it a little more fun so we decided to have an Ugly Sweater party. My sweater was quite warm so I took it off. I'll have to find a picture of me in it.

Isla's First Thanksgiving

My sister, Katie, came in town to meet Isla and celebrate Thanksgiving with us. Instead of cooking like we usually do, we dined at The Palm in Denver. It was a great choice and of course, the food was fabulous! Isla slept through the whole meal.

Isla and Aunt Katie, and of course, Caesar! He is never too far from the ladies!

10 Day Old Isla

My amazing photographer friend, Shannon Kaple, took these pictures of Isla when she was 10 days old. I love these pictures and I am so happy she was awake for her first photo shoot! Check out more of Shannon's amazing work at: http://www.centeravenueimaging.com

Predictions!

With Isla's birthday scheduled for Tuesday, November 9, 2010 (11/9/10), our predictions on her birthday are no longer valid. I predicted November 4th, Rush predicted November 10th and my parents predicted she would arrive after her due date of November 16th.

Now, we are taking guesses on her weight. My belly is huge, so I am hoping a big baby comes out to help justify its size :). Anyone want to throw in a guess/prediction?

Rush's Birthday

We had a great time celebrating Rush's 27th birthday with a get-together at our house on his birthday. It was great to have my parents in town (anxiously awaiting Isla's arrival) and Seth and Chris in town.

It was great to have our favorite kids join in on the celebration and help Rush blow out the candles on his cake.

The cake!

Thanks for celebrating with us, friends!
