I really wanted to put up Mae's and Mikie's bday post...here it is!

Mae had such a great day! I stayed up late the night before getting everything ready. Hanging up ribbons on her bedroom door (they are still there 3 months later, kinda cute actually!) Getting balloons set up around, wrapping and setting up the humongous dollhouse we got for her. I LOVE bdays and always get so excited about them. I think growing up it was always a big deal, getting to choose my bday dinner, begging my mom to wrap my gifts days early so I could shake them and stare and them and smell them. (I think wrapping paper smells so good!) Mae chose rasp. filled doughnuts for breakfast and pizza for dinner. It was super easy for me. I made her a cherry-chip cherry ice cream cake. It was delicious! I want to try different flavors next time. chocolate mint? chocolate chocolate? 

 Mae woke up first as usual, and had a blast playing with her balloons.

 And eating her doughnut...i promise she was happy. :)

 They had a blast helping me decorate the cake.

 Mae's bday fell on a friday, which is traditionally our pizza party movie night anyways! We watched puss in boots. not that awesome.

 She wanted a princess cake.

 Trying out the new dollhouse. it came with the cutest furniture!

Mike was gone for work the week before his b-day, and got home on his actual bday. We kept it simple and just had his fav. dinner, Chicken parmesan. He chose a DQ  cake. And I wasn't offended! You just can't beat their soft-serve and that fudge filling. The girls and I had fun decorating the house while we waited for him to get home. Each of the girls chose a little gift for him and helped me wrap it. Happy 35th bday Mike!
