Happy Birthday Lillie

I can't believe that this smart, funny girl is 7. On Saturday, she had a "super seventies" party including tie-dying, making pet rocks and clay jewelry. The inside of her cake was 5 different colors to look like a tie-dye cake. She had a great time with 5 of her friends that were able to come celebrate her birthday.

Happy Birthday Sophie!

Tuesday, we celebrated Sophie's birthday after preschool with her friends. The party was at McDonald's play place and the kids loved playing on the indoor playground. Her cupcake cake was decorated with the characters from the movie "Frozen." She had a great birthday party and she is still talking about it several days later.

Happy Birthday Lillie

Lillie celebrated her birthday on Saturday.  The night before we covered her doorway with plastic and put balloons between the door and plastic.  When she opened the door in the morning...she was showered with balloons.

She opened presents from her family.

Then Lillie had her birthday party at where she takes Gymnastics. She invited her friends and Sophie to the party.  Sophie had a great time participating with the kids too.

One of Lillie's favorite parts was the Pinata. Friends below: Lillie, Mara, Charlotte, Katie, Sophie behind pinata, Grace, Madi, Natalie, Gavin, Libby, Natalie and Grace's sister, and CiCi.

Happy Birthday Sophie!

We celebrated Sophie's birthday on Saturday.  We surprised her with streamers decorating her doorway when she woke up in the morning.

That morning, I asked Sophie if she was more excited about opening presents or the cake.  She said, "the cake."

She said lots of "oohs and ahhs" as she opened her presents. Sophie loves the new Disney show "Sofia the First," so we gave her a Sofia dress and tiara for her birthday. 

I also made her a Sofia the First cake.

She did a great job at blowing out the candles. Lillie offered to help and Brian was surprised that she blew them out, but we practiced earlier in the week.

Thank you to everyone for the gifts and helping us to celebrate her birthday.  She had a great day.
