A Week of Celebrating

The fun began with a visit from my brother DJ last weekend and his friend Shelby.

Since DJ and Isabelle both have birthdays on the 11th of July, I asked Izzy if she wanted to share her birthday with Uncle DJ.

She thought for a moment and said ".....mmmm.....nope"

Then considered.....and offered to negotiate. "Well....only if we have 2 birthday cakes?"

Smart girl!

I agreed.

She said she'd share, but made it abundantly clear that her cake would be pink.

...and his would not!

On her birthday morning, she went on very special daddy-daughter date. Blueberry pancakes with whipped cream.....yummy!

At breakfast, Daddy gave her her first strand of pearls. She thinks she's a princess!

Her daddy does too!

Her new friend "Kit" came along who has strawberry blonde hair and freckles just like Izzy!

We've since been gearing up for her "Cupcake-Themed Fancy Nancy Birthday Party".

While helping me with the decorations this week, I held up a pink pom-pom that would hang from the ceiling over her tea table at the party.

"What do you think Izzy" I asked.

She gasped theatrically, "Oh Mommy, its so beautiful I could just cry!"

Quite the little drama queen!

Party pictures soon to follow!!
