We celebrated Isabella's birthday with my family this past Sunday. My whole family was able to come, which made it such a special day! It means so much to us, because everyone had to drive so far. My brother and his family (with 3 little kids) drove a total of 8 hours that day! The weather was actually nice, so the kids got a chance to play outside for awhile. I made meatballs, cheesy potatoes, spinich penne salad, beer bread, fruit salad, and apples with a homemade caramel dip for dinner. Isabella was SO excited about her cake. I made her a Nemo cake. One night, about 3 months ago, Monte was flipping through the channels, and the movie, "Finding Nemo" was on. Up until that point she hadn't had much interest in TV, but she fell in love with Nemo! Now she'll watch just about anything, her new favorites are Dora and Diego. We usually limit her TV viewing to 2 shows per day, otherwise there's no telling how much the girl would watch.
I thought the cake turned out pretty good. I'll have one more chance to make it this weekend, when we get together with Monte's family.
We made treat bags for her cousins, each one had a Nemo yo-yo, Nemo sticker, and Nemo fruit snacks.
Looking so grown up!
Her new shopping cart from Grandma and Grandpa. Every morning for about a month she would ask me, "
Mommy, do I not have a shopping cart?" I took that as a hint she wanted one. :)
I'm three!

What a great day! (And now I'm hungry . . .) :>) Happy birthday, Isabella!
I can't believe she is 3!!!
That is so cute about the shopping cart. That's a good idea too!
3 is very grown up. No more toddler, she's officially a preschooler:)
Great job on the cake! I bet it tasted super too!
I love parties at home:)
