Through the Eyes of Izzy

    Sunday after church, we went over to Grandma and Papa Mitchell's house. We were having my family birthday dinner. I asked Grandma for Lasagna and Chocolate Lasagna. Grandma says I'm looking so grown up these days.   On Tuesday we went to Panera for lunch, then to Target for Back to School supply shopping. I went back to Grandma's house so I could play with Abby and Ellie. Guess what? My American Girl Doll arrived!  Last week Grandma and Papa told me they were getting me an American Girl doll and I got to pick out the hair and eye color and also some outfits.  She has glasses like me and earrings.  I have named her Isabella.  So we are Isabelle and Isabella. Here's a photo of me with my school supplies.  I am excited to be starting third grade!

Mommy and Daddy planned my birthday party and my friends came over for a fun water themed birthday party.  Water balloons, water guns, fun times. This year, Grandma Lori had a balloon lady come and make balloon creations for us.  Here I am. Grace was an elephant Summer the cheetah Mermaid hat Maggie the penguin headed zebra Daddy had an alien invasion hat. We had a fun day!

Wow! Can you believe it?  I am eight years old! My actual birthday was kind of quiet.  We went over to Grandma and Papa's house.  Papa is still recovering from his knee replacement surgery.  Aunt Sarah, Abby, and Ellie came up and we had fun playing.  Aunt Sarah was going to take my eight year old pictures, but I'm sunburned, so we will try again next week.  I posed for my unofficial eight year old photo by Grandma.  Mommy and Daddy have planned a birthday party with my friends for Saturday.  Then on Sunday, we are going to have my family party.  I asked Grandma to make Lasagna for my birthday meal and Chocolate Lasagna for dessert.  Yummy!
