Finishing up Isabella's Birthday!

I'm so far behind on these pictures I haven't even shown our kittens yet.
Here is the conclusion of Isabella's birthday!

After our Crown Center Hupla we went to Aunt Lora and Uncle Lou's house and got to visit Grandad too.

Kole loved Aunt Lora's little chairs.

And the toys came out
Kole and Grandad playing with the light switch.

Alexander got the infamous boot cup, and LOVED it.

Xander also liked the cow stool



Dancing in front of the mirror


Aunt Lora set the girls free on her clothes and they had quite a time dressing up and putting on a show.









Ari didn't dress up but she did dance.

Ari gave Uncle Lou some dance lessons too. See how well he follows directions. She said, "put your hands like this and spin" and he did.

The next day we headed up to St. Joe and had lunch at the Japanese steak house.
Ella and Isabella's birthdays are a day apart, so they were celebrating eachother :)








Ari had fun with a pile of sauce plates that got left too close to here. The waitress didn't think it was as cute as Pop did.
Present time

Isabella loves the Supreems, so she got this cd of all their #1 hits, which she loves.
Next we girls went and painted pottery while the boys went with Grandma to play at McDonalds.





Little Artists at work




It was a very well celebrated birthday~

Isabella's Birthday

Papa having the day off for Good Friday was a nice surprise. We didn't realize he had the day off until the day before, so it was fun to have him included in all our plans!

Had to start off the day with opening presents.
For Isabella's birthday this year we took a trip down to Kaleidoscope and Crown Center. The kids had a lot of fun! I think I would have had more fun if I had remembers that it was Good Friday and that schools would be out and the place would be PACKED. But we survived.

One thing Isabella knew for sure was that if at all possible she wanted Mia to be in on her birthday. We were very thankful to have that work out, the girls had lots of fun!

Walking into the "black light room" at Kaleidoscope.
Some of the markers showed up all glowey under the black light.

Next we headed over to Fairy Tale Village. They had lots of different houses and scenes from fairy tales that the kids got to walk through.
Here's Cinderella's carriage.

Then we ate lunch at Crayola Cafe.
The place mats were coloring pages

Yummy birthday sundae!

Fun day!
Still to come:
Playing at Aunt Lora and Uncle Lou's house and visiting Grandad.
And Lunch out and Painting Pottery with Ella.
It was a packed full birthday!
