Isabelle’s birthday























No, it’s not really her birthday yet. But we did celebrate it today. Luckily, she has NO clue, so it didn’t bother too much. Since we will be in China on her official b’day, we decided to celebrate early since things will, I am guessing, be pretty darn crazy when we get home. The cousins and aunts came down from Atlanta to help celebrate and we all made our way to a local jumpy-place. Right up Belle’s alley πŸ™‚ All the kids had the best time and the employees had to kick us out at closing time. Isabelle kept saying and signing “more” at the same time, if I could have bribed them to stay open longer I would have. After we got home we followed the predictable party routine: presents, cake and ice cream. Then came the fun part… taking a bat to a Dora pinata (doesn’t that just seem wrong?!) Everyone wanted to deliver the crushing blow, even the littlest batter, Isabelle. But ultimately, it was Jordan and Tori. The big kids. Yeah, next time we’ll tell the teenagers they have to sit out πŸ˜‰ After all the candy hit the ground the kids scrambled to grab as much as they could. It was so cute to see the little ones trying to stuff their pockets as fast as they could.
It was a good day. Happy Birthday my little (almost) three year old!

    What fun…There is just so much love in your family, you are blessed.
    Your words on Judes website inspire me, you are truly one of the worlds most beautiful mothers, full of grace and poise, and your vunerability and honesty overwhelm me with pride for a friend I have never met, yet value.

    Big hugs to that cutie for her birthday
