Isaac's 3rd Birthday

I'm so far behind on blogging and posting pictures, considering my last post was 6 months ago. Someday I will go back and post all the pictures we've taken since then, but for now I thought I should at least share the pictures from Isaac's birthday.
We were so excited to have Michael's dad and step mom visiting for Isaac's birthday this year. It was so nice to spend some uninterrupted time with them. I hope they enjoyed themselves, because we would love for them to come see us again sometime! Isaac had a great time with his Granddad and Grandma Gail - the best birthday present, really.
To celebrate Isaac's birthday, we decided to have a small Ice Cream themed party at home and allowed Isaac to invite a few friends from school. The party was a great success. I mean, we had ice cream and a million toppings, how could you not have a great time, right? There were also lots of ice cream themed activities, a magnet wall, puzzles, a bean bag toss, ice cream poppers, ice cream tattoos, decorating soda jerk hats, ice cream aprons, and of course the kid size "Ice Cream Parlor" set up in the living room. They had so much fun making ice cream after ice cream and "decorating" with sprinkles, fruit and syrup. After lunch we ate cupcakes in ice cream cones, and had an ice cream bar, which was a big hit with the kids and adults.
Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate with us, and to those family members who couldn't be here, but called and sent gifts. A few presents arrived later in the week, so Isaac got to open a present almost daily this past week. Sometimes, the packaging was as much fun as the actual presents, as you can see from him jumping on the large packing bubbles in some of the pictures! Isaac enjoyed the party so much that he is still talking about it and singing Happy Birthday to himself! We all had a great time and can't wait to do it again next year!
