The Monkey Birthday Bash...

Finally... pictures from Isabel's first birthday party! (I know- it only took me a month to post these babies) My friend Julie Salzmann took them and I think they turned out really well. Plus- I didn't have to worry about taking any pictures that day ("Jason ...Quick! Get the camera!"). The party was fun and CHAOTIC. (Note to self- do not try to get your 1 year-old to open her birthday presents in front of everyone with seven other kids in the room) Bear with me.... I have a lot of pics to show you...

 Jason teased me about the party ( calling it "the wedding" Part II because I ordered a two tier birthday cake and invited all of our friends - ha ha) But hey.... I think it turned out fun and even though Isabel will NEVER remember it, we will have these great pics to show her someday :) Besides, I think the 1st birthday should be just as much of a celebration for the mom and dad because they successfully SURVIVED the first year of parenthood - (goodness knows there were days I did not think we would ) Anyway, Happy 1st  Birthday Little Isabel "Monkey" Leppin!
