Isa's Birthdays

As usual Isa had multiple birthday "things" this year. i think i made 3 separate birthday desserts and that was only by the time she got to the family party she opted for ice cream. i wont go into how old i feel on this birthday. but i do.
before we do the party pictures i want to show you why i feel old.






I'm just saying. anyway here we go.

school birthday! as i said in my previous post. Isa requested these.



they were a huge hit and the kids loved them!! it made a HUGE mess in my kitchen though.


the next day was her friend party. she decided to take just a few friends roller skating instead of a huge party. (which was nice for me). i think she thought that since she had just discovered skating her friends had too. they however, were great skaters and i think it upset Isa a bit. she is still in the hold onto the edge and shuffle stage. after a few break downs i got her a little walker to push and she was much happier.

much happier with the walker


after skating we headed home for dinner and cake.


one very happy girl


josh and i intentionally did not blow up balloons because they get everywhere and it takes about a week to locate and pop them all. guess what the first thing the girls asked for was when they got into the house?




emmeline of course wanted to play too.


i think this picture accurately shows how difficult it is for someone one of her stature to carry 2 balloons.


isabella requested a blueberry cake with lemon icing for her cake this year. very yummy.


it is amazing how much noise 4 girls can make. very, giggly. isa loved her gifts. she got a motion sensor for her bedroom door, a new beach towel, and a bead pet kit. she has been playing with all of them non-stop. a good 8th birthday. did i mention that i feel old? i do.

oh, and i didn't even mention that snickerdoodles she asked for for girls scouts!
