The Birthday Countdown Has Begun

Isabelle turns 7 in one week. We started her birthday celebration today with Kevin's parent. Isabelle planned the whole day. The day started with a BIG breakfast: waffles, eggs, fruit, juice, & bacon! We were full! For our activity, Isabelle picked "Arts for Kids"at our local Arboretum. We had so much fun . . . face painting, hay ride, hedge apple throw, puppet show, & LOTS of crafts. By 2 we were hungry, so we headed to her favorite restaurant, Sante Fe South for chips & salsa & macaroni & cheese - YES it is a mexican restaurant, but she LOVES to eat macaroni & cheese there! After lunch/dinner, she quickly rushed us home for cake & presents

Isabelle requested a chicken on her hand. . . . this sweet lady LOVES to paint. She was so excited to paint Isabelle's chicken.

John Michael wanted a white dinosaur! He sat completely still . . . rare for him!
Grandma & I decided to share in Isabelle's fun & get our hands painted.

John Michael could have stayed at this all day . . . throwing hedge apples to pop balloons
