Birthdays, birthdays, birthdays...Let's start with Izzie!

August and September is the biggest birthday time of year for us.  On August 23 our little baby turned 1!  With all of the family we have in town, birthdays often warrent two celebrations, and Izzie's bday was no exception.  So, birthday celebration #1 was at the Young's house, and was combined with aunt Trisha's and cousin Kari's bday (which were the day before Izzie's).  Our little princess wasn't quite sure what all the fuss was about, and started the celebration with a few reservations.

Here's the gang, at least some of them, gathered around to sing happy birthday.  Good thing each birthday girl had her own cake!

Izzie was granted free reign of her cake.  So we stripped her down to her diaper, put her in her own seat, and placed her cake where she couldn't get away from it.  She wasn't quite sure how to handle this new freedom and was a bit shy at first.

Mason volunteered to jump up next to her and show her how it was done.

And once Mason gave his approval, the gloves came off and little Isabel went to town on both her and Mason.

Once they were finally finished, there was only one way to clean up the mess!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IZZIE!
