I know, I take a lot of these kinds of pictures

but I have such long arms that I'm good at it

End of the night...

This is the best party of the year... free champagne, wine, beer, and Jell-o shots... not to mention yummy food and great company. As always, Travis and I had a blast...

Isabelle is 10 Months Old

Happy Girl!

Close-Up

Gummy Grin!

This girl has had a busy month, especially now that she's walking. She's starting to really favor certain people, especially her mama. In fact, she cries when I leave the room. I dont remember Gabby ever doing that. Isabelle also is LOVIN' cheese and there haven't been any bad poops, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she's growing out of the dairy allergy... The best thing is- she gives hugs! No, really. She puts her arms around your neck and squeezes it. I've never heard of a baby doing that but she is just so super cuddly that she does. LOVE THAT!

Gabby clearly loves it when I take these pictures

16 adults and 12 kiddos made-up our Thanksgiving feast. My new friend, Deb, hosted because her house is HUGE. The adults and kids both had a blast! We decided to do a potluck type thing and it all worked out pretty well. We do miss our family members during this time but when you live overseas you create a new family... All in all, a success!

Trimming the Tree

Before

Travis is being silly with his girls

Trying to get a picture of all three 

looking at the camera- impossible!

Almost done...

Putting the star on top

After

It's pretty much the Tebo tradition now to put the Christmas tree up the weekend after Halloween. We love this time of year and want to soak it up as much as possible, especially since we're going home this Christmas. It's also nice to put-up the tree with our own ornaments that we've collected over the years... That night, we watched "A Christmas Story."

Isabelle's First Steps!

Isabelle took her first couple of steps today! She's 9 1/2 months old. Love her!

Disney on Ice

Disney on Ice was awesome but it was in Chinese. Dang-it! We still enjoyed the ice skating and show, though. Or at least I did... Travis toughed it out. 

Travis & Cara's Birthday Party

The Lovely Ladies...

Laura, Cara, Nikki, Alex, Deb, and Velora (Bottom)

The Guys... This picture makes me laugh...

Russell, Stephen, Steve, Gerrick, Nate, and Travis

Instead if doing two separate parties this year, we decided to do one in the middle of our birthdays, which I think we'll start doing from now on... Chef Song catered some yummy food and I cant believe we fit 12 people in our tiny living room area. Travis and I had a blast, even though I was sick. I was hardcore and toughed it out.
