The Birthday Bash

The birthday celebrations are winding down and we survived. In fact, we had a grand ol' time.
Tuesday night, we gave Holland her presents... including this one--- a new bike. She'd outgrown her old one and this one seems a bit big. But she took right to it and loves it. Oh, she's growing up too fast.

Wednesday night, Grandpa and Grandma Bodily babysat Kean and we took the girls, plus two of Holland's friends out for dinner and then ice skating. It was Reese's first time and she dazzled everybody. After a while she dumped the "walker" and was skating on her own and even turning awkward circles. I had people coming up to me all night asking me how old she was.

Here's the whole motley crew.

Greer did great... but stole Reese's walker a few times.

After working up a sweat, we had the homemade cupcakes I made. Okay, I tried to be creative and make ice skates out of candy crystals... they ended up looking more like a beached seal... but the girls thought they were great.

One more year and we get to do this again.
