Craft Fair, Leafs, and a Birthday Present!

This morning after a later breakfast (Isabelle slept till almost 8:30!) we went to the Grimes United Methodist Church's Holiday Craft Fair.  We thought it would be fun to get us in the mood for Christmas and it was free!  Isabelle had a fun time looking at everything and we had to be very careful with her walking around so that she didn't knock anything off the displays!

Afterwards we came home and enjoyed some playtime outdoors.  Isabelle loves looking for leaves and when you ask her where a leaf is she will walk (actually she tries to run now) across the yard until she finds a leaf.  She then proudly picks it up and carries it around with her.  She loves leaves! She also was all ready to help daddy carve a pumpkin but after she was more interested in ripping the newspaper into pieces we thought it would be best if he carved it while she ate lunch. :) 

Isabelle also got her first birthday present in the mail today! My good friend Missy (and her husband Michael and daughter Katelyn) sent Isabelle a birthday present! She loved opening it up and was very excited to see a new book "Perfect Piggies" and four Disney Princess books from her registry! She also got an adorable pair of leg warmers that will look so cute under a jean skirt!  Thanks Missy!
