Seussical Birthday Party x 2!

Lilly and Raelynn’s birthdays are exactly 3 weeks apart so I am going to do joint parties for them for as long as they will allow it. 

Here are some pictures from Lilly’s actually birthday, which was fell on Easter this year.

Lilly’s birthday gift

Cupcakes for Lilly’s birthday, they were also sent to school for her class to snack on.

“Today I am 3, my favorite color is pink, I want to be a princess when I grow up, my favorite food is tomato!”

20 questions that I’m going to ask the girls every year from age 3 on up. 

Happy girls in their matching Easter dresses, getting them to both look at the camera is impossible!

Lilly “hugging” Raelynn

Dying eggs, nobody in our house likes hard boiled eggs.  We may not dye eggs again, it really was pointless.

On her 3rd birthday Lilly wrote her name all by herself!

Yummy cupcakes

As usual she only ate the icing.

The weekend after Lilly’s birthday we celebrated both of the girls birthday with a wonderful Dr. Seuss themed birthday party.  Thank you pinterest, my wonderful mother in law, and my mom for helping me plan this party!

The back of the house

Raelynn took a moment to pose for a picture

Lilly stayed by Amaw’s side most of the day. 

Singing “Happy Birthday”

Raelynn devoured her cupcake every last crumb of it!

Lilly ate just the icing

Raelynn still going to town.

As if the cupcake wasn’t enough Mimi thought she needed some ice cream

Lilly liked the icing and the ice cream, not the cake

Raelynn literally licked all the icing off her hands, army and even picked some up off the table to eat! She made cleaning her up a little easier.

Here are the pictures of Raelynn eating her brownie on her actual 1st birthday.

Yummy!

I think at this point she was licking it off the tray

“What!?! I’m busy!”

Back to eating it off the tray

Yay for sugar!

Easter Egg Hunt at School

Lilly’s school hosted a Easter egg hunt, but it was on a Thursday.  Lilly only goes to school on Wednesday but her school is so great they allowed us to come on Thursday and participate in the craziness of toddlers searching for little plastic eggs.

Lilly and her bunnies

She was trying to model the back of her dress

“Nook mommy eggs, there’s chickies inside them!”

Raelynn is such a good sport!

St. Patrick's Day Photo shoot

I love dressing the girls up in matching outfits, especially if it’s mommy made.  After dressing the girls up, I decided to pull the camera out (surprise, surprise) and snap some photos.

Lilly picked out the leg warmers.  She did a great job!

Silly Girls

Raelynn is such a sweet heart!

But she makes some funny faces..lol

Lilly had no clue Raelynn was going for her hair..

“HEEEYYY!” shouted the doodle but

Playing dress up

I’m going to do a little catch up on the blog seeing that I haven’t posted anything since February!  I have a bunch of pictures of Lilly playing dress up in the month of March, she’s so funny!

Here is a typical picture of Lilly playing dress up! Everything that is in her dress up drawer is on!

Lilly was modeling a new pattern for me.

She was so pleased that she got Raelynn’s baby legs on, I think they actually look kind of cute.  This was St. Patrick’s day so it went well with the theme.

Winnie the Pooh, Tigger and Eyeore! Doc is such a patient dog!

A LOT of Love

This is the first year that Lilly really understands what each of the holidays are about, so of course the holiday all about pink, hearts and love really excited her.  Last week Lilly’s school sent home a pink card and asked us to write a love not to our kiddo so it could hang on their classroom wall.  Here is Lilly’s note.

Lilly and I made Valentine’s for Mimi, Amaw and Apaw. I did the cutting and Lilly did the coloring.

 

Now on to Valentine’s Day..I figured it would be fun to make themed meals.  We started out with pink heart shaped pancakes for breakfast.  They were a big hit!

 

They started out pink

 

Then turned a little brown..but still good!

Lilly loved her heart shaped pancakes

Raelynn loved her first taste of pancakes

 

Then we made a valentine for Daddy

 

And Lilly shouted “happy valentine’s day”

And modeled her owl valentine’s outfit.

 

Raelynn had a cute outfit too, but I didn’t get a picture of her in it.  We had a small naptime diaper explosion. Here’s a picture of it from LPC.

After Raelynn woke up from her nap and we had a heart themed lunch on a pink plate.

And finally when Daddy got home we gave the girls their Valentine’s gifts.  Again bad mommy didn’t get pictures of Raelynn with her toy, but take my word for it she loved her ball.  Lilly has been obsessed with My Little Pony lately so I was super excited to find this “pinkie pie” on the clearance isle at Wally World.

And last but not least, a picture of the girls playing together from the other day.

 

I guess I should say here that Mike and I aren’t big fans of Valentine’s Day we don’t typically give each other gifts, so I am pretty amazed that I went all out and did a themed day.  I guess being a mommy makes themed meals, activities and outfits cool!  Oh I did get Mike one present, a nice big steak meal that I made for dinner.
