This past Saturday, April 14th, we celebrated K&A's Birthday with my family. We are so blessed to have so many people in our lives that love our little girls. Katie and Allie helped me pick out everything for their party, from the napkins and plates to their own individual cakes and decorations. Ladybugs and flowers were the theme, which is ironic because it has been the same theme for the last 3 years! Katie wanted a yellow cake with chocolate frosting and Allie wanted a marble cake with chocolate frosting. The weather was perfect, 70ish, and all of the kids played outside. Everyone was so generous in their gift giving and Katie and Allie were extremely gracious, saying things like "Oh this is my favorite" and "I always wanted this!" Grandma and Grandpa gave the girls each their own scooter - such a big hit that Daddy had to assemble them immediately after opening them. Good thing Daddy is so handy with a screwdriver. Auntie Jen and her family gave them girl Lego's called Lego friends. On Sunday, a majority of the day was spent playing with the adorable Lego friends. Uncle Jon and his family gave the girls each their own dress up princess dresses - Katie got Cinderella's dress and Allie got Belle's dress. Katie and Allie each wore their dress to bed on Saturday night. The dresses go well with the Princess shoes that we already have!
Each day I am more amazed by the imagination and creativity that Katie and Allie display. It starts out early in the day. This morning they had fun playing with their new Lego's after breakfast. Then after they got dressed I found them in Katie's bed pretending to be little mice. After I played teacher for 1 hour, they went to their school and mommy went to work. Sometimes I don't understand daycare center rules. Allie was a bit sad when I dropped them off. I asked the teacher, who was setting out their cots for nap time, if Katie and Allie could sleep by each other and without a seconds hesitation she said no. It just makes me sad to think that one of my girls is unhappy....
