Birthday Girls

The girls turned 4 on Sunday and the were so excited they all got up at the crack of dawn. Elizabeth said, "I'm 4 today! But I didn't grow anymore!"

Morning present opening happened immediately when they ripped into gifts from the grandmas, parents, aunt and Parker.










Then we prepped for the party which we had moved from the Park to Ebba's house since it was suppose to rain. Amy and I set up the food while Michael prepped the boxes. The "theme" of the party was "box city". I tried to copy an exhibit I saw at a local kids museum where cardboard boxes and tape were put out and the kids just put it all together. Michael's tape dispenser was excellent. The kids didn't actually do what we thought they would, but they had fun nonetheless.













We had cake (two kinds made by Amy) and the kids continued to play with boxes, the jumpy house and with the air hockey table.








The girls were exhausted and complete wrecks after the party, but the guests seem to have fun and much of the food was gone which is always a good sign. Thank goodness for our friend Ebba who has a house big enough not only all the kids, adults and boxes, but the jumpy house too.
