Birthday Girls!

Rebecca loved her gift from Lily!

Yay! I'm 5!

September is a time for birthdays in our house! Rebecca turned 5 on the 14th and Lily turned 3 today (the 27th). The girls were so excited this year and the best part was that they were excited for each other. Lily was so happy when it was Rebecca's birthday and the same for Rebecca. They just love each other so much and are too cute about it! This year both girls wanted a scooter for their birthday. We gave Rebecca her scooter on her birthday and too be honest I was a little worried about how it would go without Lily getting one too, but it was fine! Rebecca shared and they took turns. When Lily opened her scooter today they both yelled, "We don't have to take turns anymore!"

We had a joint birthday party for the girls on the Saturday in between their birthdays. I'm always a little sad when birthdays come around for our family because we are never with our families back home to celebrate. We can't have the usual family party where grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins get to come over and celebrate with us. However, we are very fortunate to have made some wonderful friends in Spain that made the girl's birthday party special.

Too cute not to include!

Happy 3rd Birthday Lily!

Although a very exciting month for us...I'm glad it's over. I made 25 cupcakes on both girls' birthdays for them to take to school. I also made a cake for each one on her actual birthday as well as a cake for the party. So if you're keeping track that's A LOT of baking for a short period of time. I do not care to bake/eat cake for awhile...okay maybe I will only need a few days to recover from the eating cake part :)
