We had a Mickey Mouse/ Winnie the Pooh birthday party for the girls this year. The theme made for a rather crowded cake top. The girls ate the cake very nicely so we don't have any "cake on the face" pics this year.
Emma and Sara weren't too interested in opening the presents. Guess we'll say the same thing we did last year...maybe next year! Emma was quite excited with some of the ribbon and tissue paper though. This magic wand was a hit!
Both of the girls have enjoyed the double easel Grandma and Grandpa gave them. We've put it in the kitchen so I can see them while I'm cooking. It's great because one side is a chalk board and the other is a wipe-off board that is magnetic. Now they aren't playing with their magnets on the refrigerator while I'm busy opening and closing it.
NOTICE: We aren't letting Sara do this anymore!Thank goodness she forgot about going down the slide face first. She loved it though! For some reason the slide is a lot more interesting when it is in the living room than when it is in the backyard. We'll probably be moving it back in soon! Grana and Grandaddy picked a winner!
Too bad this pic isn't focused...Emma wasn't thrilled to put on her new Cinderella dress, but it grew on her. She even went down the slide with it on!
We tried out two of the girls presents yesterday. They look so cute in the Minnie Mouse swimsuits Daddy found and they love the water table that MawMaw and PawPaw gave them. Emma pretends to cook while Sara throws things into it and squeals. You can see that she threw in her sister's pink sippy cup!
Sara is into destruction so Aunt Beth gave her a construction kit. It even came with a stop sign! The little tape measure make sounds like hammering a nail or sawing some lumber.
Emma loves the rocking animals that are on our church playground so she (and Sara) have loved having a blue dog of their own.
Some of our party participants: Sara, Aunt Beth, Mom, Papa (Susan's grandparents) and Emma.

We know we don't throw the most exciting, well organized parties in the world but we do have the cutest birthday twins! Thanks to everyone for making the girls birthday a blast! See ya next year!

Sounds like the party was fun! You and your family are so blessed to have your husband and your parents and grandparents here so the girls can see them! That is absolutely wonderful! What a blessing!!
What a fun party! Great pics too. So sad we missed it. Next year though! The cake was too fun :)
How nice to have so much family to come to the party. I love the cake!! Kind of reminds me of a day with two little ones ;)
The boys have a rocking big blue dog and they love it! I wonder if your girls will start standing on the seat and trying to rock or jump off or if that is just a boy thing.
Won't it nice to be able to tell people that they're 2 and 3 now?!? Instead of having to say 19 months and 31 months.
Sorry I haven't been by in awhile, thanks for all the great pics. My boys got in a fight trying to get a better look at Sara and Emma's party!
MOM SAYS THIS WAS A SUPER BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION! WHAT A PRIVILEDGE TO BE A PART OF IT. THANKS, MARCUS AND SUSAN" ALSO, THE LITTLE STARS OF THE PARTY.
