Today we got Isabel’s hair cut and what do you think?!?
Before.
After and…
there she is!
Isabel had a wonderful birthday a few weeks ago and she’s gotten a few gifts from some very important people. So I thought I would send out a huge “THANK YOU” to everyone who gave her a gift/love. Enjoy!
From Gmpa; a warm outfit to keep her warm in the winter and flower seeds because her flowers didn’t make it last year that we planted. We’ll try again this year…
From Gma; a love shirt and skort outfit. Gma said it reminded her of all the love she has for Isabel…
From the Kinne’s; she got this cool tie-dyed jacket and a “My Little Pony”.
(which btw…is a 5T!)
The front and back of the jacket have the same design; a heart.
A close up of her My Little Pony; Star Song.
(Isabel wanted me to add this photo – “So they can see it close, Momma.” she said)
From Uncle Ron, Aunt Sarah, Aunt Crystal, and cousins; $20.00 which she’ll be saving in the bank.
And last but not least…
From the Ware’s; a very adorable “Hello Kitty” backpack, which she wore all morning long and refused to get dressed because she didn’t want to take the backpack off.
Thank you, everyone! She’s showered with so much love…
Today Isabel and I did a construction paper craft making flowers. I found this project online from another site. The next time we do it, I might try using tissue paper (or newspaper) to make the project a bit easier. Construction paper was a bit thick but we still had fun. Enjoy!
We made a total of 5 flowers; 2 blue, 1 pink, and 2 red.
They were super easy to make and gave Isabel more practice with scissors!
She gave each of us one of her flowers.
Gino got a red one, Gabbi a blue one, and I got the pink one.
The day after her birthday, Isabel said she had to wear her Lula shirt…of course! She loves it!
Since wearing it, she has told Gino and I several times that she plans on wearing it to school…I need to get the second one made!
Also today, we working on cutting and pasting and finished up our Kumo book that we started about a year ago. She was excited to receive her certificate of completion! She’s gotten very well at handling scissors and pasting is a breeze! Great job!
Her last few projects in the book were cutting curved lines and zig-zags.
Open mouths.
Closed mouths!
The last few projects were cutting apart a page and then re-assembling it to make a whole picture, like a puzzle. She really liked these projects. The bird and the hippo were leftover projects from the last time we worked in the book.
Cherry tree and rocket.
So proud of her work! Hurray for Isabel for learning how to cut and paste like a big girl! You’ve come so far in the year since we have started. Keep up the good work!
So after dinner we decided to open gifts first and then have cake and ice cream. Enjoy!
Excited to get some new gifts.
First a new safety helmet.
Mommy’s favorite gift for Isabel…an iron-on shirt of Lula!
“A Nemo game, Daddy!” she says.
Final gift…a new Big Girl Jesus bike!
The bike has flowers and doves all over it and the first thing I thought of was…
“It’s a Jesus bike! How cool is that!?!”
I think she likes her Jesus bike!
With help from Daddy, not to ride into anything…
a ride around the kitchen/dining room before cake.
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you – Isabel
Happy Birthday to you!
You have grown so much this year…the year ahead has so much new growing to do! We can’t wait to see what God has planned for you!
Remember God loves you and we do too! We love you, Ladybug. Happy Birthday!
Our birthday celebration for our little ladybug! Happy Birthday! Enjoy!
The birthday girl is awake!
A birthday girl breakfast; waffles and fruit.
Mommy and Isabel. She spent the day playing with pre-party balloons and decorating her own cake which she thought was so cool!
She decided not to go with cupcakes this year and went with a cake instead. She chose milk chocolate cake with milk chocolate frosting and flowers for the decoration.
Gino did the flowers and sun. Isabel put the candies on and I did the wording and ribbon along the edge.
Let the celebration begin!
I bought this balloon kit at Wal-mart that came with a small helium tank, balloons and ribbon. So while Isabel and I went to get Gabbi from the train, Gino stayed home and filled a handful of balloons! She was so excited!
A birthday girl dinner; she wanted PB&J for dinner but after a few ideas from Dad and Mom, she decided on spaghetti (w/meatballs) again this year.
