It's a Party!

The girls are going to be two years old on the 4th, but we had to have their party today since Daddy is leaving tomorrow for a job interview. They woke up with runny noses but they still enjoyed the presents. :)

For the cake, it was Duncan Hines all the way. Would you believe both the cake and the icing are milk-free!!! Daddy had a hand in decorating them. :)

The birthday tiara design is courtesy of Curious George and I. It says, "Katelyn is Two" and "Jordan is Two". (Thing 1 on the left, Thing 2 on the right)


Thing 1 gobbled up her cake without using any utensils. Thing 2 wasn't in the mood for cake.

The bikes are courtesy of the Grandma's gift money. Nana & Papaw got them a folding foam/bed chair, clothes and coloring books. (Thing 1 on the left, Thing 2 on the right)

Being the good big brother that he is, Curious George helped Thing 1 open presents. She didn't quite know what to do with the wrapper.

In the middle of the party, Curious George his care package from his Grandma. He requested dried mango a couple of weeks back. He was grinning like a fool!

The girls in their birthday dress. I didn't put them on since I was anticipating messy clothes smeared by cake like last year. Backless! Gotta love it.

Thing 1 eats some Chex cereal for an afternoon snack.

there were lots and lots of gifts

Thing 1 got a peak of the toy cell phone and started ripping the wrapper, while Thing 2 looks on.

Curious George assigns Daddy the task of assembly, while he plays with his new Transformers.

Being the good momma that I am, I inspect some of the merchandise. Thing 2 was impatiently waiting her turn.

Wouldn't you like to be caught by this cute little policewoman! (Thing 1)

Curious George bonds with Cousin C over the love of Legos.
(I'm sure Daddy is celebrating somewhere in the background. In a few short years, he will have an excuse to buy those huge Star Wars Legos.)

Creative Project

Creative juices are flowing just in time to get the teachers' gifts out. I'm sure Miss Meagan and Miss Sonja would be thrilled with such personalization. Now, only 7 more bags to decorate.

Is it child labor if the child enjoys it? Hmmmm.
