Birthday!

The birthday girls had a great birthday. It started yesterday when I let them open one present each and they chose the ones from my mom.  I thought they would want to swap presents, but they did not and were very happy with what they got.

This morning, they were up at the crack of dawn to open the rest of the presents.  First was presents from Grammy and Ginny, gymnastics things for Elizabeth and Kitty Cat things for Miranda. Perfect!

Then they opened stuff from each other...Art stuff for Miranda and Jewelry making items for Elizabeth.

Then presents from Amy and Eran.  A monologue book and sticker books. Miranda was very excited about her book.

Then legos for Miranda (rescue jungle animal legos), gift card to Old Navy for Elizabeth (at her request), some more gymnastics stuff including book and dvd for Elizabeth, and part of Miranda Vampirate costume for her.

The best thing about the day was NO CARSEATS! Sure, they should probably still use them based on Elizabeth's strap situation but today they were thrilled to be out of them on the drive to school.

Our school doesn't allow treats on birthdays in the classroom which is just as well with me. They sang and made cards and that was enough.  Then at night, we picked up Beck and Bauer for Fentons dinner and ice cream as well as a movie.  They wore matching outfits.

I took them to 7-11 before the movie for candy.

We saw dolphin tale 2 which was insipid but delightful for the girls. The very loud old people behind us really enjoyed it.

Next weekend is their slumber party with two friends each because Elizabeth has a gymnastics meet this weekend and I'm with Parker all weekend at a swim meet.
