Happy Birthday to my babies!!

We have the joy of celebrating our kids birthday on the same day...what a great thing...Fitz loves it since he only has to remember one day! The day started with gifts for the kids; Lilly got her princess dress for us, and a set of magnetic building things (magnaforms) from MJ. MJ got a a lifetime fishing liscence from us, and a toy telephone from Lilly. Since their party is not for a few weeks, the only other gifts they got to open were for close friends who came by for some cupcakes.

The weather was BEAUTIFUL, so we started with breakfast outside. Lilly was on to outfit #2 by this time, and she just HAD to weather her Cinderella Dress! MJ loved eating outside and watching all of the birds in the sky.

After we made our birthday shirts (3 for Lilly and 1 for MJ). It was time to do some swinging. And if you know my kids at all, it was not a surprise that they ended up nudie! It was so nice to be able to enjoy the outside! During this time, Dada was tilling the would be garden so we could plant. Lilly wanted to plant flowers for her birthday, so our next stop was to pick up some flowers, veggies at the Newport Garden Center.

Later on in the day, we had some of Lilly's good buddies over for a cookout. The girls gathered around the table for some burgers and dogs. They had to finish before we could move on to cake!

YAY for cake!!!

The night ended with some baths, hats and hugs! We are looking forward to the big party with weekend, and having all of Lilly and MJ's friends over for food, fun, and an egg hunt! It's so nice to have a "theme" already build in to birthday parties! If only it was not such a pain to fill the eggs...at least they are already done....all 500 of them!
