I Survived...

February has been a busy month. LOTS of sickness (horrible coughs, bronchitis, ear infection, and strep throat...that's just from the girls) and of course 2 adorable birthday parties! Who knew having 2 girls born 3 years and 12 days apart creates birthday mania within such a short time period.

Even with the girls' birthdays so close together, we chose to keep their parties separate. It would be much more cost effective to combine the two. However, we just felt the need for each girl to have her own day! Much to my dismay, my camera was in the shop for most of the month but sweet friends were there to help me capture those Kodak moments. I'll have to post some pictures of each girls special day when I get the images!

Greta Banks had chosen her party supplies (paper products) a couple of weeks before the party. We had already decided that Dora was the chosen character this year! However, on a recent trip to Wal-Mart before her birthday, it was decided that all plans should change to accommodate the need for Strawberry Shortcake. Unfortunately, or fortunately for me, Dora was already purchased! No going back now! The forever changing mind of a woman begins at early age! :-)

Greta Banks' party theme this year, besides Dora, was to have cooking party with her friends. All the kids decorated chef hats, made pizzas, fruit loop necklaces, decorated their own cupcakes, and played pin the pizza on the chef. It was ALOT of prep work but I must say our garage was transformed into a wonderful "kitchen" for our little chefs! They had a great time and the birthday girl handled the party like a true princess! Happy Birthday sweet baby! I love you more than apple pie!
