Isabelle's 1st Birthday

Isabelle's day began with a few gifts. She spent the morning pushing around her new stroller while the rest of us got ready for the day. After taking Maddie to school and Luke to work, we stopped to get her favorite breakfast - strawberries and a croissant.


During lunch, Isabelle tried on the birthday hat.


For dinner, she had another favorite - pasta and ciabatta. As you can see, the theme for the birthday celebration was Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Isabelle is a huge Mickey Mouse fan. (We can't wait for her to see him in person at Disneyland Tokyo!) Thanks to Maddie, we all had a pair of ears to wear to the party.


While Isabelle finished dinner, Maddie provided the entertainment. She danced to "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" and "Hot Dog".



Isabelle needed Maddie's help to blow out the candle.




Isabelle loved her chocolate cake.









Isabelle finished off the day with a bath, more gifts, and of course, books. It was the perfect day for our birthday girl!
