{isabella's 4th birthday}

yep, its true. My princess is 4. Izzy was looking forward to this day for a very long time. It was especially nice having the Lakes at our home to help us celebrate it, along with all the Anderson family. She had a muffin in bed with a candle in it and then got lots of goodies throughout the day, namely a brand new bottle of Tabasco sauce which goes great on Sabe and Izzy's midnight snacks of quesadillas. The Dora bubble bath set was also a fun surprise from daddy's trip to the store for more rice krispies :)
Olivia and McKenna did such a great job decorating the kitchen, complete with a little "Izzy shrine".
Now, don't laugh at the cake, because I am not skilled by any means in that department. I do watch "Cake Boss" and am smart enough to know that you should always build the base of cakes with rice krispie treats. So thats what I did and I think I totally spared Snow White from tipping over. I made a bunch of cupcakes because I thought that is what everyone would eat. Much to my surprise, everyone ended up going crazy for the cake, but I'm pretty sure it was the buttercream icing that was so good.
It was so sad when everyone started singing happy birthday to Isabella because she started crying and felt like they were all screaming at her. I guess she was right, but opening up presents completely made up for it. She loved every minute of it.
What a fun day....

My goodness, Jennifer, do you do anything that is not just perfection? You have such a special touch with decorating and making everything look beautiful. Remember how you would always help keep our boys in good form when you traveled on the baseball trip with us? Loved seeing your blog and we missed you and your family at the Bingo Party.

I'm like Heather--I wish I could be in a few of those pictures! However, I'm just glad that we can "experience" Izzy's birthday with your wonderful pictures! You did a wonderful job with the decorations, cake and pictures. Tell Isabella that Grandma Joyce saw the pictures and wanted you to give her a big hug!
