butterflies, flowers, and smiles

we celebrated isabelle on saturday with family and peppy's friends. it was fun b/c, unlike last year, this year she had friends to invite. what fun!
i'm not going to write too much b/c i have so many pictures and peppy could wake up at any time right now.
judy, the queen of baking, researched the cake and cupcakes we did...and the "girls" came over the night before the party and made it happen.


my project: her dress. it stayed on for 1/2 hour. longer than i thought it would :)


she was caught red handed opening presents!

so a couple of her friends let her open their present (the next outfit she wore)

and she went back to opening presents in the corner

so far, i could not get her to stop until...judy comes in with a chocolate cake and isabelle stood up and followed judy to not return to the presents for a few hours. (background info: when we go to aunt judy's house, she always expects a cake or pie. we even were at the farmers market with auntie and uncle franky and she looks at judy and says "apple pie.") she's a girl after my own heart and she knows the best place to get it!
we would try and keep track of her but with 50+ pple there it was hard. but we always found her around friends and taken care of.

just taking a moment to soak in all the fun :)

we sang twice to her b/c she had two cakes. why not? it was her special celebration and this is one of her fav parts!


quite satisfied

this girl refuses to smile for most pictures.

she was so worried the balloon would fly away

the hit of the day...this and the castle jumper

all the kids "helped" her open presents. this was a very chaotic moment at the party.
