Incase you didn't already know, my two girls share the same birthday.
Izabella was born at 11:17 pm on December 31, 2007
and
Abigail was born at 5:26 am on December 31, 2009!
So they are exactly 2 years apart.
I decided this year with everything that was going on in our busy little family that I was only going to prepare ONE birthday cake. I know Abigail wouldn't mind much so I asked Izabella what kind of cake she wanted.
To my surprise she wanted a Rapunzel cake (courtesy of the new Disney Tangled movie). Then she found this one on line and had to have it.
"Please mommy, I really want this one! I'll love you forever, ever, ever, and ever if you make this one!"
I had never worked with fondant before, but I decided why not give it a shot.
This is what I came up with.
Izabella loved it, especially the fact that it was over two feet high. She loves her birthday. She picked out her most beautiful dress and had to have her hair done just right. She couldn't wait for all her guests to arrive!!
Since the car at Jeff and Em's was such a big hit with Abigail over Christmas, I just had to get her one. She loves it!!
The girls with their cake!!
Bella really enjoys her sweets!!
Abigail really enjoyed her first experience with cake. In fact she double fisted it!!
Grandma Plane made Izabella a new robe since she grew out of the one she made a couple of years ago. This one has Tinkerbell on it and also had a matching robe for her Kelly Doll!!
Thank you everyone for making the girls' birthday such a wonderful day! We appreciate every ones love and support and are grateful to have you all in our lives. We missed all our family from Washington, and yes Jessica, you too, and we missed out daddy, who was in bed sick for the whole party for the 3rd year in a row. We know your thoughts and hearts were with us.
Love you all,

Catching UP!!
Even though we weren't living in Utah yet, we still all spent Christmas together in Roy/Hooper, Utah, it was a Plane Family Christmas!!
We spent an entire week at Mike's brothers house. Jeff and Emily were wonderful hosts and we all had so much fun. Mom and dad were their and all five grand kids. Justin 7, Hailey 5, Izabella 3(almost), Kara 2 1/2, and Abigail 1 (almost). Abigail was walking by this time and was every were. We had to put up the gate at the stairs so she wouldn't fall down which pretty much locked the little girls down stairs in the play room. But I really don't think they minded much. Grandma spent most of the time down there with them helping dress them up in Princess dresses and playing Barbies and Dolls.
Here is cousin Kara in her cute Ladybug dress!!!
The three oldest granddaughters watching a movie in the playroom.
Justin stayed entertained playing games most of the time, either a WII Nintendo game with Uncle Mikey or card and board games with the rest of the family.
The little car Bella is on was the life of the party. All the kids took turns riding or pushing each other on it. And when the big kids weren't around Abi was pushing it around the kitchen slowly working on her walking skills.
On Christmas Eve all the kids opened a gift of holiday PJ's, aren't they all adorable!
Uncle Jeff read the Christmas story from the scriptures and then The Night Before Christmas. The kids all listened quietly!
Christmas morning was a frenzy as usual. Izabella really made out with a huge haul from Santa and from the rest of the family.
Abigail loved playing with her new toys and everyone Else's.
Daddy go a great Limited Edition Star Trek Watch from Mom and Russ, he loved it!!!
Spending Christmas with family is always so wonderful. We all had a great time together and the kids and I loved being with Daddy for 6 days straight. Thank you Jeff and Emily for a wonderful Christmas and for Mom and Dad for all the yummy goodies (dad loves to bake for Christmas).
Love you all,
The Plane's
Micheal, Stefanie, Izabella, Abigail, and Baby Boy
Preparing for Christmas was interesting this year. For a while we weren't sure whether we would be in Twin Falls, ID or Roy, UT by that time. We finally decided that trying to move before Christmas was not the best idea and that we would wait until after the first of the year to move. This was incredibly hard since we were all having a hard time being separated from each other.
Especially the girls from their daddy.
But when he was home they were the center of his world and they loved every minute of it.
I decided that with me starting to pack, having two girls to take care of all by myself and being pregnant I was not going to decorate as much as I usually did. We would put up the tree, the stockings, and a few other little things and that was it. Thank goodness too, because putting up that much exhausted me.
He are my girls in one of their favorite holiday twines outfits. Aren't they the cutest!!
Izabella found her sleeping bag stocking daddy made for her, and his Mr Grinch and the three of them were a match made in heaven. Most mornings you would find her sitting in her stocking in the middle of the living room floor with her Mr Grinch watching the Grinch of the TV. We are still watching it now at the end of January.
One of the weekends Mike was home we pulled out the old Christmas tree. Izabella loves helping her daddy put it up.
Trying to get both girls to hold still long enough for a picture in front of the tree was near impossible so this one will have to work.
Izabella is very lucky to be such good friends with Santa Clause that he even stops by the house to check in on her before his big ride. She loves seeing Santa and telling him everything she wants.
Abi didn't want much to do with Santa this year so we shared his lap. I hope I didn't squash him to much!
And even Daddy sat on Santa's lap.
I love Christmas and it was so much fun having Bella's help decorating this year. I think my favorite part was walking through the stores with the girls and every time we passed a Nativity Scene Izabella had to stop to see baby Jesus, her favorite baby ever.
We hope you all enjoyed the Holidays!!
