More Birthdays?

No, it is not mine nor Jared's birthday. We are the proud parents of two beautiful girls that both have January birthdays. So, here we are posing for the camera to show how young we are to be having such grown up little kids. (And a side note, I am 21 weeks in this picture and I cut off all my hair. But it will grow, as will my belly!)
Here is our eldest, Mackenzie. She just turned 6 and is such a great helper. She loves to color. I mean, really loves to color, along with play dress up and her favorite part of school is recess.



A year and ten days later, due to the sense of humor of our Heavenly Father, Alexis came. She just turned 5. She laughs all the time, even when she is in trouble. She loves movies, and playing board games and puzzles, and being read to. She is quite bussy and a major tease.







We decided to celebrate their birthdays with a grand party at blast off, a place filled with jungle gym toys, slides, and ball pits.
Here is Alexis inside one of the tubes.



The cousins joined in the festivities! Benji, Joey, Eli, and libby are playing in the ball pit.





Alexis and Jayners are sliding on the rope slide together.









Kenzie made it through the twirling tube thingys.





Here are six of the partiers in a different ball pit. Eli, luke, Benji, Joey, Alexis, and Mackenzie. It is kind of like a "where's waldo" game. Try and find each of the kids.





We tried to line up the kids and get a picture. Joey, Lainy, Libby, Luke, Ben, Mackenzie, and Alexis. Not showing is Eli and Jayners.

Now we weren't just celebrating my girls birthday. Lainy, daughter of Dusty and Megann, also has a birthday.

The party all set up.



Megann made these super cute giant princess cup cakes for each of the girls. They were totally awesome!





Say cheese birthday girls!









It was a great party and the kids all had a blast! I can't believe how big my girls are. I am a mom of a 6, 5, and almost 3 year old. A new sister is on the way and we are one big happy growing family! I feel very blessed!
And thank you everyone for giving my girls presents, the girls haven't stopped coloring with Grandma's special crayon bag and books, the girls have already worn their new shirt and fuzzy sweaters from Megann and Sharon. They have carried around their new pet shops everywhere, from Des and the boys, and they wear their pretty barretts from Jemayla on a constant basis.

I like your hair so much! I looks so good short, like more volume and all. I cannot believe how fast time goes by. Your girls are so cute, and they make me laugh, it is hard not to laugh when Lexis laughs, it is a contagious laugh for sure. I love the giant cupcakes too, how fun!

I never realized that your girls were so close, I bet they are either best friends or they fight a lot. Their birthday looks so fun.
