"We don't grow old. When we cease to grow, we become old."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
The week started with the kids getting together with their friends to swim. The water felt great and everyone took full advantage of it. It’s definitely been a summer for swimming.
On her actual birthday, Isla asked for Boba and donuts from breakfast. It’s hard to say no to a birthday request, so Boba and donuts it is. When she got home, it was time to open presents. Bears, unicorns, and Legos were the theme of the day, and as you can see from the pictures it seems like Isla was happy with the gifts.
Isla wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese for her birthday, and the gang was happy to join her. Cousins Ben and Sydney were able to join as well, which made it even better. After games and pizza Isla was able to get a Chuck E. Cheese plushie, which she was very excited about.
We went back to the house afterwards to enjoy cupcakes and open presents from the friends.
Grandma and Grampa came over on Sunday to play games and wish Isla a happy birthday. She was excited just from the cake, but the balloons, cards, and presents sealed the deal.
It was a busy birthday week for Isla, but a fun one. Happy birthday Isla, we love you!
