Pajama Jam 2011

Pajama Jam 2011 was a huge success!

The girls were invited to wear theirfavorite PJs, enjoy breakfast for lunch and a movie.

DJ Griswold played MJ's Thriller and other top picks of the 1st grade class.

The dance floor was wild.

Birthday Menu:

Waffles with whipped cream and strawberry sauce

Lucy-made Yogurt parfaits

Sausage

(this is the Beyer house afterall)

Grapes

Isabel decorated her own table for all the little sisters in attendance.

After lunch the girls piled into the TV room

with every blanket, quilt and pillow we own

to watch

Shrek 4

The whole Pajama gang.

Beware. Lock your doors.

Instead of cake we celebrated with cinnamon rolls.

Thank you, Pillsbury, for making my life a little easier.

Singing to the birthday girl. Her sidekick is never far...

She never told us what she wished for,

but I hope all her birthday wishes come true...

long overdue pictures!

Life is beyond busy. What can I say? I've finally downloaded my camera pictures, sifted through them and resized the best pics to post here. Enjoy!

Turning back the clock of time...

Todd and I call this one the pouting bunny. LOL!

Isabel turned 4!!!!

As I'm sure most of you remember we welcomed Isabel into our lives just 2 weeks after moving to Albany and Todd starting his first job. It was a crazy time, but she was such a wonderful baby. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the hospital four years ago.

Isabel's first birthday party at the pool with friends.

Isabel's first birthday morning pancakes. An Isabel birtheday tradition.

Apparently Isabel never turned 2 because I can't find any photographic proof. Oh well. Moving on, this is one of my favorite pictures of Isabel ever. Her third birthday at the Rain Forest Cafe in Boston after a full day at the children's museum. Priceless.

This year was invited another family out for pasta at Beppo's and to watch Toy Story 3. I put together movie boxes for all the kids with candy, popcorn and glowsticks, and I printed TS3 coloring pages and activity books. Lucy sprinkled the table with sparklies.

Isabel showing me her flashing ring for the movie theater. Isabel loves a little bling.

More Isabel bling.

Birthday cake and one happy 4 yo

Gah!

I don't even know how to begin catching up. This is such a busy time of year with all the end of school activities. I'm just going to throw a few pictures a night and see if I can catch up. Here are some pics from a birthday party we went to mid-May. There was a bouncy house and snowcone machine.

Happiness is three snowcones.
