A great ending to a great first birthday!

To finish off Isabella's first birthday, we went to one of her favorite places to eat-Cracker Barrel. She loved all her food. Her favorite was the free dessert (fruit cobbler with lots of ice cream) she got to celebrate! All in all, Isabella, mom and dad had a wonderful day of celebration! We are so incredibly blessed each day we get to see our little girl grow!!

Actual Birthday Day-May 24 2010

We met Brian for birthday lunch at McDonald's. Isabella loved her chicken nuggets and loved playing in the slide! Later that night, we opened presents from family. She couldn't decide which she liked the best. I think she decided on all of them:)! Especially the clothes!

Birthday party with Alyssa

We had a party with our good friends Jason, Ginger, and Alyssa out the at the park in Jackson, MO. Isabella had a lot of fun, as did Alyssa and the rest of us. Isabella loved her cake and presents!

After the party

We went to McAlister's for lunch after church Sunday. She is with her great aunt Suzie chewing on a straw on the left. The picture on the right is later that day. It is an obvious sign of how much fun Isabella had!

Cupcake time!

Isabella just loved the strawberry cupcake and the icing! She had no trouble digging into that cupcake and in record time! She loved it!

More Birthday Pics...

Isabella had a lot of fun opening her gifts. Among all the pretty clothes, there was a baby stroller and baby. She still loves strolling her baby through the apartment.

Isabella's first birthday celebration came Mother's Day weekend with a visit from Mama Jo, Aunt Jo Jo, Aunt Suzie, and Mimi. Isabella is waiting so patiently for her gifts. She looked so adorable in this dress from Mama Jo.
