We had so much fun today. Two families of our friends came over this afternoon for a fun birthday hangout. Nothing fancy or hyper-planned, just friends playing and eating cake. 

This morning I woke up and made the girls' cake, yummy bagels and French bread. They loved watching all the preparation, because it meant their friends would be coming to play. 

And when their friends arrived, fun was had by all! They were crazy running through the house and yelling, like kids are supposed to do. We sang happy birthday and ate a pink and purple cake. 

Because we were having fun, J and I totally forgot about opening presents! One of the kiddos reminded us, and we had even more fun opening all the new goodies. Thankfully, my girls are super awesome and they let their friends help them unwrap their gifts. Which means they probably have no idea what was given to them. But everyone had fun. 

Oh, and we made tie dye shirts! All the kids got to make one and take it home. Tomorrow we will see how they turned out- hopefully they look good!

After everyone left, we watched one of their new movies while we took a couple breaths to relax. As soon as the movie was over, we explored some new toys. A fun radio and a new cd. An Oakland A's ball and bat that we all had fun playing baseball in the girls room with. Dress up clothes. A new dragon. 

It was so fun to watch the girls. They have changed so much in the last year. Our lives have changed so much in the last year. And through it all, P and K have been amazing.
