Isabele's 2nd Birthday Party

The party went quite well.  Isabele loved her presents.  The food was good.  And everyone laughed at least once.  I think that makes it a success!  Now for the pictures.

The flowers are all ones that I picked from my scraggly, dying garden this afternoon.  Note to self - don't pull everything out just because it's getting cooler.  These are all quite happy and the low last night was 36.

 I saw this recipe in a new book and thought I'd make it.  Snails out of refridgerated breadstick dough.  The kids helped and it was amusing - plus they were tasty.

Also a new recipe - Feta, Basil and Roasted Red Pepper Muffins. Very good - Taste of Home 2011.

 Modeling her new pajamas and slippers.  I added the flowers to plain slippers.  Gotta love a hot glue gun!

 Her new ring.

 Slippers.

 I think she likes them.

 Reaching for her necklace from Nana and Grandpa.  Kimber is going to help her put it on.

 Wearing her new snail necklace.

 Checking out her tortuga bracelet from Uncle Micah and Chuma (Kimber).

 Birthday cake.

 She blew the candles out herself.  One at a time. It took her a while, but she was being shy.

Titus helped me put up the balloons while Isabele was taking a nap.  He added the squares of paper taped to the window after I told him he could not tape them to the wall.  

Oh - I didn't get pictures but she also got a 1970's era Fisher Price jet set, complete with car, fuel truck, people and suitcases.  She loves it.  Also got a mug with a pig in the bottom from Nana.  Titus made out well also with a mug with a sheep in the bottom, and a Playmobile Rescue Helicopter.
