week 41...

happy 41 weeks!

this was a fun week since it was isla's first christmas.  our little family had a great christmas together and isla loved all her new stuff (especially the boxes, bows, and wrapping paper)!

always trying to grab the numbers...

little miss had a great christmas.  she got some fun new toys that she is loving!  eating the paper was a favorite activity!

i made isla a little playhouse out of a big box and i think she likes it...

it's so cute when she talks to us and waves through the window!

so many fun toys... a wagon, a toy to ride on, a tunnel to crawl through, and some cute pink toms!

she also loves to push this toy around...

so fast!

isla thinks it's so funny when we push her really fast and there are cute little wooden animals that fit in the holes on the seat...

more playing...

then of course she found lots of new "toys" to play with under the cabinets...

isla helped me cook on christmas eve (hopefully this gal will be a better cook than her mom).  we made a christmas pot pie and it was delicious!

we did our family christmas on christmas eve because joe worked christmas day.  but we did make a little visit to the fire station to see dada...

isla loves her bath time friends!

and we always have to check on abby while she is outside...

talking!

isla just looks so cute in her coat and hat.  she loves talking to her isla bear.  and she started kissing the glass whenever we would walk outside... so cute!

taking our first wagon ride... 

we went to see mimi and grip the day after christmas.

and aunt jen was there... yay!

and isla got to meet hula.  she was so sweet with isla and just let her pet her and pull on her ears!

isla couldn't quite figure out grip's mustache!  

it was a fun first christmas and we are so thankful for such amazing family and friends.  i get all emotional and teary eyed when i look at these pictures of our sweet girl.  this year has definitely been a blessing.

love you forever isles.
