Six Years Old!!

The girls were so excited for their birthday, and they woke up bright and early on Saturday morning. I pulled out a photo album and showed them pictures of the day they were born and when they were babies. Tannah was a little worried that I was going to make her wait to open her presents until the time she was born (9:23 pm). She didn't have to wait that long, but she did insist on being able to stay awake until her "real birthday" as she called it.

I didn't actually make her wait that long. The girls have been really excited about skating lately, so we thought roller skates would be a good birthday present. Tannah requested rollerblades, but Harper wanted old school roller skates.

The presents were a big hit. During the day, we met some of my college friends and their kids at Chuck E. Cheese. It was the girls first time going, and they had a blast. It didn't hurt they walked up to the counter with about 150 tickets each, and walked away with over 1700 tickets worth "prizes." I'm still not sure how that happened, but they girls were really excited. Harper got a gumball machine, which she thinks is the best thing ever.

When we got home, my parents and a friend came over for more presents and cake. My parents gave the girls some really cool games.

The girls requested chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, and I thought they might each like their own rather than sharing, and I was right. They cakes were really ugly, but they tasted good:)

Happy Birthday to my beautiful girls! Their smiles light up every room they enter!
