Another year older

It seems like I blinked and Isabella went from this....





to this.......



Happy birthday Isabella!


We started the morning with our traditional birthday cookie cake.


Everyone loves having cookies and m & m's for breakfast.


Especially on a Tuesday.



You can look at her face and know she has been counting down to this birthday since about 8 months ago.


I have never seen someone so enthusiastic about becoming 4.




So, of course, I had to buy this ribbon when I saw it at Party City, for her to wear to school.




After school, Mama took us out for lunch to celebrate. Isabella chose her favorite Chinese restaurant, Chopsticks in Peachtree City.



Egg drop soup...our favorite





Flowers came that afternoon from Grandad in Texas



And look great in her bedroom next the the other arrangement Mama gave her that morning.



After enjoying a delicious dinner from Steak and Shake (her choice...I offered to cook but she wanted a milkshake for dinner...we insisted on the hamburger and fries), it was time to move on to what she had been waiting for all day...birthday cake and presents.




This is the first year I didn't make her birthday cake myself, but don't forget that I DID make all those cupcakes for school, so I guess that counts.

She saw this cake in the store and begged me to buy it, only because she feel in love with the tiara and wand.

Even though I didn't make it myself, it was a great cake nonetheless.




It looks like she is thinking about what to wish for when she blows out the candle.

However, clearly she was just figuring out which part of the cake she should start playing with first.

Presents!!!!!

It was so late by the time we finished opening presents that she didn't get a chance to play with anything.
Paul suggested she take the day off from school the following day to play.
So she did. :-)
