Mikayla and Delilah's 6th Birthday

Their birthday started off with waking up to balloons in their bedroom and off to school they went with cupcakes made by mommy.

They wanted Princess and the Frog cupcakes (even though they didn't see the movie)

My three princesses before the 6 year-olds go to school.

After school we went to Baskin Robbins for their free birthday scoop of ice cream, came home, played Mario Kart, ate dinner with Nana and Ms. Barbara, and then off to our friend's dance performance. The dance was so cool however, Delilah was too tired and fell asleep for the last 20 minutes of it and Caitlin was too restless so I missed about half of it. Boo!! But because we didn't get home till late - their birthday dinner, cake, and presents were moved to the next day. Which they were okay with.

So I totally forgot to get a picture of the girls' birthday cake. It was one from Baskin Robbins but it was so cute cause they asked for Dora for their baby sister. Well needless to say - Caitlin needed a bath after she ate her piece.

As always, the girls never have their birthday parties on their birthday. Sad huh?? So this year, which is an even year, they get a birthday party with their friends. (on the odd numbers we do something together as a family - last year it was Disneyland and I am sure next year it will be too!) They wanted a pool party. That is impossible in January in Sacramento. However, there is an indoor pool place so that is where we had it. The girls had a blast and loved swimming with their friends especially with the rain coming down outside.

Besides for the horrible "H" in Happy - I liked the way the cake turned out. I had Costco make the cake and decorate just the icing and border and then I made the pool with the gummy bears swimming and laying out. The kids all wanted a piece with the gummy bears on it. :-)

One last shot with all the kids at the table.

The girls loved their birthday party. Mommy and Daddy were exhausted and worn out but it was fun! Caitlin was exhausted too and ready for a nap when we got home (thanks Nora!) Mike and I used to always joke about when people had babysitters/nannies help out at birthday parties. We thought - man it must be nice to have that kind of money. Now - we realize it is worth every penny. Nora came and swam with Caitlin the whole time and it was nice knowing I can focus on the girls and their friends while Caitlin was still having fun.
