The birthday girl sound asleep... It was easier than normal to get her out of bed this morning.
Mark, James and I joined Ella at school for her birthday celebration. Her friends sang to her and they all enjoyed eating cupcakes.
Here is Ella with a favorite classmate enjoying a pink (of course!) cupcake.
Mark took the afternoon off and we had a quick lunch at the McDonald's Playland before heading home for a relaxing afternoon.
For dinner we went to Applebee's, a birthday tradition for Ella. This is the face she made this year when she was being serenaded with their birthday song.
After dinner, we were off to the park to enjoy some more play time. James had a blast...
Isabella enjoyed herself as well. We had gorgeous weather today!
After the park it was time for presents and Ella could hardly wait!
Ella made a deal with James. He could open two of her presents if he lets her open two of his presents on his birthday. Here is Ella waiting for James to open up her new jewelry box.
James gave Ella a very soft pig with two piglets and she loved it.
More gift opening fun...
A self-timer family photo around the cake... Isabella is wearing her new Jasmine costume that she really, really wanted for her birthday.
Isabella smiles as she listens to "Happy Birthday" being sung to her.
Blowing out her candles...
Letting James help blow out the candles a second time.
One last present... Isabella opened up a necklace and earrings and we told her that we will take her to get her ears pierced when she feels ready. She was very excited about this and was all set to have them pierced tomorrow. At bedtime, though, she had already changed her mind and thinks we should wait until at least Monday so she won't have sore ears at her birthday party this weekend. We'll see if she changes her mind again...
Eating the birthday cake that Ella helped to bake and decorate.
Our beautiful SIX YEAR OLD!!! Happy Birthday Isabella Mae!!!
BABY UPDATE: We are still waiting and to be honest we are a little surprised that we made it through Ella's birthday without a new little bundle. I was told last Wednesday that my body was gearing up and that it could be any day... So, we have been anxiously waiting. While there have been many bouts of contractions over the past several days, things haven't progressed any further....yet!!! Stay tuned!
