Birthday Party

Today is Isabel’s birthday party with friends and family. We invited 13 kids and 9 actually came! We had a total of 22 people with parents and kids. Afterward, Isabel said she had to many people in her house. We had a great time celebrating Isabel’s special day! Thank you everyone for celebrating our little Ladybugs big day!

Jeannie made ladybugs for the cupcakes. So adorable, I love them! Thanks Jeannie!

While everyone was arriving we let the kids play in the front room (no one was allowed upstairs!) with toys from Isabel’s room. After everyone arrived, we had Subway sandwiches, chips and dip, and lemonade. After all the kids ate and the adults were still eating, the kids went back to playing in the front room. After eating, I decided to call the kids into the kitchen to play our 1 game. Pin the banana on Boots (Dora’s friend).

Each of the kids took a turn (except Shi and Aaron) and I told them there were no winners, we all were! Our prizes would be given out when it was time to go home. Everyone had fun playing. At first Isabel didn’t want to even do it but when she saw that all her friends were doing it and having fun she decided that she would. She was the second closest to getting the banana in Boots’ hand. Great job!
