Isabella's Third Birthday Celebration

Michael and I went over to his brother and sister in law's house with his parents to celebrate our niece's birthday. Grandpa made lasagna, we brought the salad, and Grandma and Grandpa brought the cake. We opened presents, sang happy birthday, made cookies, made cards, and of course played! We had a great time and can't wait for our daughter to meet and be able to play with her cousins!


What a handsome pair!

Isn't it fancy; it's a Fancy Nancy purse book filled with all kinds of neat things.

Chase was just a crawling around.


Oh what a cute niece and handsome nephew we have!

Just getting started...we were taking everyone's orders for what design they wanted.

Cheesing for the camera!

Uncle Michael being silly with the markers; too bad I didn't get a picture with him sticking the markers in his ears and up his nose (Isabella got a picture though).
