Birthday's!

Evelynn's birthday was on Jan. 31 and she turned 4 years old, while Eloise's birthday was on Feb 1st and she turned 2 (yes, it was planned that way, thanks to early inducement. :) ). It was quite a string of birthday activities. First Grandma Sue got to use her Christmas present to fly out to visit us for 5 days (which was amazing, thanks Grandma!!!). We went swimming on Saturday at the Lehi Rec center which had an amazing indoor pool/water park for only $5 for adults, $3 for kids over four, and under four is free. Following this we ate at McDonald's with a play place, and then headed home with two very very tired girls. The next day was Sunday and was officially Evelynn's birthday. We made 3 boxes of cake mix into cup cakes for the family dinner that night (and returned home with half of them!) and went to church. Evelynn got sung to in Primary, and since I'm the primary chorister, I had everyone sing to her. She stood there totally stone faced for the whole thing, it was so funny. I guess that could be intimidating to a little Sunbeam. After church we opened presets, after waiting much much too long for a certain little 4 year old. In case you're confused by the pictures, my parent's were watching on Skype on the computer, hence the girls positions. The gifts were all a big hit, but it warmed mine and Doug's heart to see our gift to Eloise go over so well. We got her her own grown up baby doll, and she wouldn't let go of it the entire night, even while eating dinner. It was and still is a big success. We tried to sing to the girls at the family dinner, but this intimidated my kids so much that they wouldn't blow out their candles, so we sang again on Monday night for Eloise's birthday and got that on film since I didn't bring my camera on Sunday night.
