Birthday Fun

Today is the girls' 5th birthday.  It's been a full week of celebrating, commencing with their party last Saturday, then their school party yesterday, some fun things today and finally dinner and cake with grandma and grandpa tomorrow!  Wow.  Maybe one day soon my house will be clean again.  Not that it's ever clean for long, anyway.

So since today is their actual birthday, Paul took the day off so we could do some things as a family.  First they opened their presents from us and from my dad and stepmom.  They snowbird in Arizona (live there in a motorhome from September through May) so they just send money and we buy the girls presents from them.

Then a friend that couldn't make it to the party last weekend came by to give them their presents (another Merida dress, so now we have 2, and a Merida wig!  So cool, since the set we gave Kayley didn't come with the wig!) so we had a little impromtu playdate for awhile this morning.  Then we went to lunch at the Rainforest Cafe and then went to Chuck E. Cheese's just to play.  The girls had only been to Chuck E. Cheese's one other time almost 2 year ago for a friend's birthday.  They really enjoyed it, and since it was a Thursday afternoon it wasn't crowded at all which was really nice.

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

First Snow of 2025

Yesterday it snowed for the first time this year.  I love when it snows when I don't have to go anywhere and can just stay home and admire it.  It snowed more today, and we took Kona out for a walk in the woods.  So pretty.

Senior Prom

Last Friday was the girls' Senior Prom.  A whole group of them met at a nearby park for photos, then they broke off into smaller groups and went to dinner and Prom.  Olivia and her group rented an Air B&B for the night, and Kayley spent the night at a friend's house with another friend or two. Olivia and Gavin (just friends) Everyone Just the guys Just the girls Olivia and Kayley
