Wow! 2 More 6 Yr Olds... !!

It's hard for me to believe that I now have two six year olds and one 7 1/2 year old.  Not to mention those little tikes too... !  It was a busy (but fun) day for the twins.  With Grandma Darlene in town Matt has taken some time off of work, so I was able to cash in on the extra help and send him on an outing with the kids!

First up?  The Princess of the Day (in reality of the year, as she is the ONLY princess around here!) requested donuts for breakfast.  Daddy ran out to the store to get them while she snoozed away.  Bentley and Jake got up at 6 am to start the day - the excitement of a birthday is overwhelmingly awesome, you know!  They opened a present each with breakfast (Star Wars movies!).

After breakfast we decorated.  On time is better than a day late, although not QUITE as good as early . Ah well!

Matt, Bentley, Jake, Viva, Lincoln, and Grandma Darlene then headed out to the bouncy house.  They bounced and bounced, and then stopped off at the Party store for birthday balloons.  Because everything is better with balloons.  Ask any small child, they all agree.

Next up we decorated cake!  Viva had a very particular vision for her cake.  Angel food with purple frosting and lots of sprinkles and sparkles.  Jake picked out a cake that he enjoys AND that he knew his older brother would enjoy (Bentley doesn't care for frosting normally) - isn't Jake a sweet brother?!  His cake was a chocolate bundt with Reeses.

Jake and Viva opened another set of presents (dance gear and legos), and then Viva and I headed out for dance class.  While we were out Jake, of course, started his new Lego set!

Evening already.  Looking back it SOUNDS less exhausting than it WAS!  We had pizza for dinner, and Grandpa Tim and Grandma Karen joined us.  Lots of presents later, we ate some cake and ice-cream!  We also had "Pink Princess Punch" - a special request of Viva's!

Jake's gifts were themed around Lego.  Lego books, lego games, lego sets... !  Viva's gifts were more girly.  Clothes and more clothes, barbies and dance stuff! (She got a Lego Friends set, too.)

The day ended with popcorn, a Star Wars marathon, and an all nighter in the tent.  Great-Grandma Darlene is being a trooper and busy watching the marathon/being indoctrinated into Star Wars.  We'll see if she begs to watch the other movies in the series... :)
