It seems I hardly have time to do simple things like posting on this blog! So here they are, a month late but better late than never. Lily turned 8 and Ellie turned 10 this year. They love music and singing and making up dances. There is one song by Taylor Swift (who is one of their favorite along with Selena Gomez, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Celo Green) that talks about never growing up. I always tell them that is my favorite and please just stay little. Every year brings a whole new set of parenting challenges and sometimes I think I am failing miserably!
We were lucky enough to get to go to the beach house with the Snook's over Ellie's birthday and enjoyed the 4th of the July festivities!
The girls had a joint party this year, only inviting a few friends each. We went and saw Mr. Popper's Penguins, had yogurt of course (that's a whole other post!), pizza and played some "Minute to Win It" games...and ended with a sleepover.
They got lots of clothes and accessories from their favorite store "Justice" as well as lots of supplies to donate to the kitty shelter. And now that Lily knows how to ride a bike she got a new bike!
I think they both had a great birthday...as always we manage to drag it out for a week or so, celebrating with ALL our family...and a few trips to Red Robin for the free birthday meal! So Happy Birthday girls...I love you lots...and remember...don't ever grow up! xoxo
