Isabella - Dec 27th

Happy birthday Isabella!!!

Looks like December was a month for many Christmas babies, such as Bella. I assume that you have returned home to Austria to celebrate Christmas and your birthday with your family or did you stay in Amsterdam? Wherever you celebrate the BIG day, I wish you the BEST birthday ever!

Secondly, I am sorry for posting these rather unusual photos in your birthday announcement. Just a quick explanation for those online who might come to the wrong conclusion and think that my friend is part of some strange cult or that she might be trapped in a time warp - I can assure you that she has phenomenal taste in clothing. Unfortunately, these are the only digital photos that I seem to have of Bella. These are from a Halloween party that we attended together in Amsterdam 2 years ago and she was dressed up in a "flapper" costume. I actually adore these photos because her gorgeous personality shines underneath all the feathers. This lovely lady is a ball of sunshine who lights up even the darkest room when she enters - she always makes me smile.

Happy birthday Bella!
