Kierstyn and Kaiana's Birthday Party!

Although the girls don't offically turn three until the 21st, today we celebrated their birthday with a party. It was supposed to be a swim party, but the swimming was canceled do to the rain and chilly weather, but no worries, the party was moved from the park/pool to my house. My poor house gets a little scrunched when about 15+ people are added to the mix, but overall it worked.

Even through the illnesses that went around (stomach bug) causing some to not show or leave early and Kevin and Richy having to work, we had a pretty good turn out. Dad cooked some tasty burgers and hotdogs for dinner and the girls decided on watermelon instead of cake for dessert. This turned a few heads, but my kids love fruit and it was no surprise to me that they chose the fruit over the sugar.

After we ate our yummy dinner, the girls opened all their presents. We got them some Barbie's, purses, lip gloss, and a couple of Barbie movies. Their starting to build up their girly movie collection, but I think they still perfer the Hulk and Spiderman over them all :) Grandma and Grandpa got them a couple more Barbie's and some headbands and barrets (they love to fix their hair). Cheri got them a couple of babies that they have already striped and lost their clothes :) Their cousin Aria (age 8) colored them each a picture and handed it to me and said "this is all I could think of." I thought this was really sweet! The Silver's Family got them some sidewalk paint and brushes, which they all love! Zachery has tried to take it over, but we all sat outside after the party (about 8:30 ish) painting up the driveway and getting splattered with paint by the splatter tool. Once again Brandi finds the coolest of toys! Even James and I painted with the kids and of course James beat us all with his artistic abilities :)

After presents we ate some watermelon, but not before placing some candles in them for the girls to blow out. I think everyone officially thought we were nuts, but the girls loved it. They each ate three peices of watermelon and two peices of cantolope. After dessert we all watched Big Brother on TV and got to listen to day who complained, but I think he secretly enjoys it :) Everyone had fun, but eventually everyone had to leave in order to be able to get up for work the next day.

We plan to take the kids to Miner Mikes for the girls actual birthday and have some more fun!
