This past weekend, we celebrated Isabelle's birthday with my family, but it sure felt like we were celebrating Christmas. . . the weather was frigid! We were all dressed in warm clothes & our winter coats - WOW!! Who knew? My mom made Isabelle an "outdoor" cake, per her request - it was complete with deer, a creek, rocks & trees. . . She loved it. The "trick" candles were also a HIGHLIGHT . . . they kept relighting after she blew them out. She'd never seen that before. John Michael hadn't either & he was belly laughing so HARD - it was hysterical.
We have been studying Ancient History & Isabelle is really intrigued with all of it, but really enjoyed the Egyptian Playmobil she got from my parents.After our birthday celebrations, we attended the wedding of our sweet friends Kevin & Joy Colvin - it was OUTSIDE!!! All the guests were in their warmest winter clothes, except the bride & her bridesmaids. They shivered through the whole wedding. We were blessed to be apart of their special day! Congrats!
After our wonderful weekend, it was capped off today with an amazing award. Isabelle was given a compassion award that included a $10,000 award for the Global Orphan Project. She'll be able to build 2 more houses. Check out http://artsfororphans.blogspot.com for more info.
