2nd Birthday Celebration Day #2

Today is Isabelle’s actual birthday and to celebrate, we had Grandmama, Poppy an Nana over for lunch. Poppy was off onto another business trip the following morning and Nana wouldn’t quite want to be at her birthday celebration we had planned the following day with all of her friends…all under the age of 7 :)

Poppy/Dad picked up lunch from one of our favorite restaurants and Grandmama picked up Nana and also what will be known as the birthday weekend buzz kill…the Froggy Cake!

After everyone got to our house an a little catching up, we had lunch which led to singing “Happy Birthday” to Isabelle. I went into the kitchen, got the Froggy Cake ready, lit a “2” candle ad began to sing “Happy Birthday” to her and between the singing, staring, lit candle and the bug eyed Froggy Cake, our little birthday girl lost it. She started crying and clung to my arm for dear life. The pictures below tell the whole story.

She wanted absolutely nothing to do with the cake…completely traumatized! As we got rid of her birthday cake and brought out tiramisu and chocolate cake that we got for the adults, I packed up “Froggy” for Nana to take home to share with her friends when they came over to play bridge at her house that Tuesday.

We enjoyed the rest of the celebration opening gifts and then Isabelle was off for a well deserved nap which was also time for Mom and Dad to prepare for her Birthday Celebration #3. Party bags to fill, 4 dozen cupcakes to bake (which reminds me that I need to invest in another muffin pan J) and Michael out to finish painting the garage.
