Happy 5th Birthday

Five years has already come and gone. Girls who started out as tiny sick babies are now thriving, crazy, and growing up so fast sometimes I think I fell asleep and missed the last few years. We celebrated their 5th birthday with a small family dinner with red velvet cake (that the girls DO NOT like..good to know) and a party at Out of This World Pizza with their friends and classmates. The girls had a blast with their space themed party and are already talking about the theme for their party next year. I don't have the heart to tell them yet that once they have a class of 25 kids we probably won't be planning the same types of parties but I'll wait to squash that dream for a few more months.

Kindergarten

Yesterday was our local school Kindergarten round up. We had a short visit, the girls went and did an activity with the current kindergartners, and the parents listened to all the information and asked questions. We all left really excited for the fall school year. The girls are already super anxious to go back and just today asked if they could start going now instead of February.
