Isabelle's 3rd Birthday

For Izzy's birthday, we decided to get a bounce house. When it arrived, Isabelle wanted nothing to do with it. We tried everything - including a couple of minutes of Travis and I jumping and sliding down.  Her decision was final (or so we thought) and this is the way she was for most of the party.  That is, until little Claire asked her to go in. Isabelle, I am told, quickly said "ok" as if there was nothing to it.  Aahh...peer pressure! We did learn that Isabelle does not like to be the center of attention. In fact, she was pretty excited about her cake right up until we all started singing "Happy Birthday".  At that point, she withdrew and asked that I blow the candle for her. Instead, we had Erik blow it out for her.  It was pretty much the same reaction with the pinata.

But overall, it was a pretty fun day for her!
