Birthday Girls

We celebrated Mallory's 1st birthday last October 21, Madison's 7th birthday on February 7 and Molly's 4th birthday on March 14. Another year of birthdays has flown by. We had Mallory's 1st birthday party on the most beautiful fall day with close friends and family at our house. She devoured her Baby Einstein cake! Madison and Molly both woke up to a special personalized birthday song and a bed full of balloons on their birthdays. They both wanted to make their birthday cakes this year. That was a new adventure for me. They actually turned out great and we had a lot of fun making them. The girls loved being able to decide every little detail. With mom's gentle suggestions of course:) Duane make a special birthday sign to put in the yard for both of them and we had dinner at Home Town Buffet on both of their birthdays. That is the only place they ever want to go for dinner. The waitresses know us by name now. We celebrated their birthday's at Great Wolf Lodge instead of having big birthday parties and both girls got to do something special the weekend of their birthday. Madison brought a long a friend to the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History. It's a great place! All the kids really enjoyed it. Madison got a new bike and some Nintendo games. We took Molly to see Peter Pan the ballet. She is our little balerina. Her birthday present was introductory ballet classes at the rec center. We can't wait for her to start. Duane fixed up Madison's old bike for Molly. It looks like brand new. Believe it or not Molly actually enjoys having things that belonged to Madison. I'm trying to enjoy it while it lasts.
