Birthday Party #1

Isabelle is blessed enough to have so many people that love her, so this year we had to have two birthday parties for her! The first birthday party was on Saturday, her actual birthday, and the theme was a princess tea party. All of the girls dressed up like princesses and the boys dressed up like superheros. Isabelle insisted upon real glasses dishes for her tea party, so I have spent the last month at every Good Will and CCA in the area but finally managed to find enough cups and saucers. The kids started off with coloring and the tea party and we actually managed to have no spills (a miracle). Then Abby (who even spent the night that night) went around and did the girls make up while I sprinkled princess dust in their hair. They decorated their own cupcakes, did the pinata and finally retired upstairs to play in Isabelle's new playroom. The best part was it was a magical day for my sweet little princess, she truly had an amazing time!

The cupcakes I made for the parents, they turned out so pretty =) I had to do boy gift bags and girl bags, did not think that princess bags would go over well for the boys!

I asked Isabelle why she kept putting her hand up, her reason was so a bird could land on it like Aurora in Sleeping Beauty. Last picture is Isabelle and Abby, Abby was such a big help with the party and Isabelle was so tickled that she was spending the night in her new bed with her.

The four year old banner I made her, it was so fun looking back at the old pictures I have of her.

Isabelle's Prince Charming, Jonah, as people would come to the party she would open the door and say,"welcome to my castle" but when Jonah got there she ran across the room and yelled, "Prince Charming is here" and was he ever dressed the party (ADORABLE, the little love birds).

This is Isabelle explaining to Abby that the doll she just opened is an American Doll.. LOL Isabelle recently discovered the American Doll catalog, after reading it she closed it put her hand on the top and said, "that was the best magazine I have ever read". Since then she has been wanting one, so we are letting her just believe that this doll is an American Doll, is that so wrong??? The answer is NO, those stinking dolls are $100 a piece please let me live my lie for as long as possible.

For the past two years Pop Pop Fish has sending Isabelle fruit bouquets for her birthday, the girl absolutely LOVES fruit! She was so excited to see that she got another one this year and immediately dove into eating it.

Abby is Isabelle's role model now, so when it was time to go to dinner Isabelle had to put a dress on that matched Abby's and do her hair the same. Meagan the "American Doll" even made it into this picture =)
