Glasses

Thanks to her daddy and genetics, Isabel has to wear glasses now! But she sure looks cute :)

Christmas

Cori trying out her new bike! She looks like she's riding super fast ;)
Isabel's present from Santa....a dancing Dora! She loved opening all of her presents!

Francisco had fun too :)

Almost all of Cori's presents had something to do with doggies or kitties. This kitty moves and meows when you pet it. Cori must of thought is really was a real cat because all day long she was trying to feed it!

Presents from Santa.

We had a fun and exciting Christmas this year with my family in San Diego. Our power went out at 8am and didn't come back on until 7pm! Thanks to our neighbors we were able to plug in Izzy's equipment with an extension cord. We ended up going out to dinner since we couldn't cook anything at home. Yesterday we (meaning Niki) made our Christmas dinner, a little late but it was delicious. Both girls have been sick with a cold and have been grouchy/tired. So it wasn't a perfect Christmas, but we still enjoyed spending time together!

The Real Santa

We took the girls to see Santa before Christmas. Isabel loved him but Cori wasn't having it so I decided not to torture her and I let her sit on my lap instead of Santa's :)

So far behind!

Pictures with grandma!

I have a lot of catching up to do! But first, something from last weekend. Francisco and I took Isabel on a little date to the MDA Holiday Party. We left Cori at home with Grandma so we could relax a little and actually enjoy the party. She is just too crazy lately ("spirited" is what the parenting books call her!).


Isabel loved her present from the staff at the MDA. We are excited to get more involved with the MDA here in San Diego, the staff are all super nice and we met a couple of nice families also.

We got to watch some professional wheelchair dancers and they taught us a few moves. Isabel got the two cutest dance partners there, her dad and the guy in the hat. Sorry no pictures of his face, but he was pretty cute. What a lucky girl! And what lucky guys!

Taking a little nap at the party....really little....like 3 minutes.

She also loved the bubble machine, her feet were covered in bubbles after a few seconds!

And meeting Santas helper....he's way too skinny to be the real Santa!

I think Isabel loved having her mom and dad all to herself for a little while and we loved being with her too!
