How did they ever grow up so fast? My little babies are turning into beautiful, spunky and loving girls. They were so excited for their birthday. I think next year for the big 5 we'll actually try to throw a little birthday party but again this year we enjoyed the small family get together without too much work. Grandparents D stopped by the day before to wish them well and give them presents (big fluffy blankets and princess pajamas) that they love.
We went to church that morning and since I was subbing for a primary teacher during this time I was able to watch the primary sing Happy Birthday to them. They soaked it in. They each got to wear a special party hat during the song and Kendall's hat had to be held on or it fell off. She tentatively tried to let go of it and it toppled to the floor. A boy in her class got the giggles about this and I was worried she would get embarrassed or sad and start crying. But nope she picked it back up and laughed too then purposefully let it fall off again for another laugh. I was proud of her for making light of it and not shying away from the attention.
Grandparents B and my sister were there for dinner and the actual birthday. The girls enjoyed a meal of their choice (pasta with white sauce) followed by gift giving and then cake and ice cream. They helped me decorate the cake earlier in the day. Grandparents B gave them a ballet outfit for their dolls and a Frozen sing-along microphone. We were all serenaded with their singing and enthusiasm over this the rest of the night. Jeff and I gave them a Barbie and a sleeping bag and camping chairs. They were excited to try out the bags and wanted to go camping right away (not to be bothered with the snow on the ground). We opted to let them sleep in the bags that night instead and that sufficed for now.
