Isabele's First Birthday

Little Miss Isabele turned 1 on the 30th of October. We had a party for her at home. Attendees: Titus, Brian, Me, Billa, Auntie Hannah, Uncle Mike, Cousin Lily, Nana, Grandpa and Isaac. We had homemade chicken noodle soup and French bread. Isabele got a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. There was also an Angel Food Cake - for those not wanting Isabele's slightly demolished chocolate cake.

She was enchanted with her cake. I forgot to get candles, so we stuck a match in and then lit the match. It burned just long enough and then fizzled out all on it's own.

She was quite tentative at first, just carefully picking off the pink and teal spots.

The end of her time with the cake - she had chocolate frosting everywhere.

Once again she is clean, if only for a few minutes. I like this expression. She liked the ribbon, but didn't know what she was supposed to do with the paper.
