the Birthday Girl

3 years old already. Where does the time go?

Last Thursday was Isabelle's birthday, and we just hung out as a family. Where do you ask? Well, where else would we be but fabulous McDonalds!! The kids love our local McDonalds (Ryan's doesn't have a playland - or that for sure would be our favorite!!) they have a great indoor playland, and on a Thursday night it's not at all crowded.

Since both the kids have birthday's right on top of Christmas, we are always struggling to come up with imaginative ideas (since they will get birthday gifts from family, and we have to rent a u-haul to bring Christmas gifts home!!) Amazingly this year Libby Lu decided to close their doors, and were offering all of their makeovers at a wonderful deal.....PERFECT!!

So, on Saturday morning the Princess, cousin Princess, 2 Princess mommy's and 1 Princess Grandma headed off to Libby Lu for a morning of hair, nails and makeup. The girls loved it! I have to say it again, they LOVED it. They were so darn cute sitting there having makeup put on, choosing their own hairstyle, and getting sparkles everywhere. After the makeover was complete, they where given the chance to stand in front of the store and sing a song....complete with moves and a microphone (the title of the song eludes me, but it was of course a Hannah Montana song)!! Holy smokes, maybe the cutest thing I have seen in a long time.

Our sweet girl loves anything to do with wands, princesses, nail polish, babies or anything her brother has!! She is usually fiercely independent, and if she doesn't want to do something......she's just not going to do it (unless you bribe her with something sparkly!!). She loves to hang out with Cooper, loves to help Mommy with most anything, and prefers Daddy to tuck her in at night. We love you baby girl, and pray you are blessed with many more birthdays!
