Isabella's Ball "A Winter Wonderland" ~ December 6, 2010









Isabella's Ball, "A Winter Wonderland" was an amazing event that we were invited to participate in with our fellow planners, Confetti Events and Weddings. We had such an experience putting together this event for Isabella's milestone birthday party!

Isabella turned 5 on this milestone birthday. She was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, weighs 17 pounds and is 25 inches in height. Isabella has spent much of her life in Shriners Hospital. Unable to walk, she is thankful to have received her first power chair to enable a sense of mobility. She receives an IV treatment every 4 months, lasting for 3 days that costs $850. The medication is completely paid for by Shriners Hospital. Her first birthday was spent in a coma at the hospital. She has spent the years following in the hospital on her special day. This was truly a milestone birthday celebration for Isabella and her family, as they witnessed her turning 5 for the first time outside of the hospital. Isabella’s wish was that in lieu of gifts, people made donations to OI Foundation and Shriners Hospital so that other children who share her disease receive the same wonderful treatment.
Osteogenesis Imperfecta, known as “brittle bone disease”, affects 20,000 to 50,000 people in the United States. OI often causes the person to have muscle weakness, hearing loss, scoliosis, blue sclera, fatigue, and short stature. People severely affected by OI also have Restrictive pulmonary disease. To find out more about OI Foundation or make a donation to this worthwhile cause, please visit http://www.oif.org/.

We were so honored to be a part of this incredible team of vendors who made this day memorable for Isabella and her family. We had an over the top birthday cake provided by "A Piece of Cake", yummy gourmet food and tons of fun activities like face painting, a ballon artist, a clown, and a magician. A special thanks to Party Theme Decorators, who completed our vision for Isabella's Winter Wonderland. It was such an amazing day that left everyone feeling very blessed. :)
