Birthday Party Recap

Remember when my twins turned two years old and I had a half a sheet cake (i.e. a REALLY BIG cake) in the fridge, and I had a big birthday barbeque and people started to leave when the party was over, and I had forgotten to get out the really big cake and serve it? AAAA! Who does that? Who forgets to have their kids blow out their birthday candles? Well apparently it is me. Luckily for me Chelsey had a package of hot dogs in my fridge and saw the really big cake and reminded me, and I was able to call back most of the relatives before they left to come and eat some cake. And the kids got to blow out their candles and everything turned out just fine. I was a little nervous about how the cake was going to look, but it turned out pretty cute.

Here they are opening up their presents. They only really opened up this first one all by themselves. After that it was complete chaos.

My mom and dad gave this little stroller to Brooklyn. She immediately demanded that someone go in the house and get her a baby (which they did) and then she played with her stroller pretty much for the rest of the night. Oh yeah, and if anyone else even came close to touching the stroller, she would scream and cry until they moved away from her toy.

Here is Hallie, helping open up presents and proudly displaying the purple lip gloss. I bought the Disney Princess Lip Gloss necklaces for all of the girls as a party favor. They were a big hit. Before we knew that it was not really "gloss" and more like "paint" Sierra had put it all over her lips, Susie's lips, and my mom's lips. It didn't really rub in or wipe off and so for the rest of the night most of the girls walked around with bright purple lips.

Chris's favorite present was the "Cowboy on Horse" from Nanny Nancy.

Brooklyn loved the "Princess Phone" from Chelsey's family.

We gave the kids each a trike. Chris was really happy right from the start.

I had to take Brooklyn's baby stroller away from her just so that she would open up the trike, and that didn't go over so well. She was really worried about her babies.

She did finally leave the stroller to do a little coloring with her new markers from Aunt Susie's family.
