Happy Birthday Lady Isabella Grace!

Bella's birthday party was on Saturday and we had a lot of fun!

 I posted last year that there is a tradition in my family that the children get a different figurine candle to display in honor of each birthday until their 18th birthday. This year's candle was an owl to represent the owl theme we did for her birthday.

 One of the favorite gifts was the backpack with the dolly holder on the back. As you can see this allows her to keep Bunny with her even easier. Now she still has her hands free to carry her books around.

 One of the crafts I had for the kids to make was sock puppets so we were entertained with a puppet show before everyone left.
 Here are our puppeteers.

Here is a picture of the cake I made with the party supplies and candles. I wished for my mother as I was making the cake. She made our cakes growing up and I was having trouble with the icing, but thankfully my Mother-in-Law, Ann and my niece Henley were there to help and give moral support. I have to say the cake turned out pretty well after all!

A few other neat things about the party were that my sister, Rebekah was able to be in town from Lubbock for the party and my dad and our friend Susan got home from a mission trip to India the night before and were able to be here as well.
