Birthday Party Weekend!

Spring birthdays are a big deal around our house. Joel is the only one in our immediate family who doesn't have a Spring birthday, and MANY of our kids' good friends have birthdays around this time too! Yesterday Maddy got to attend an ice skating birthday party for her 'longest' friend Alyssa. Alyssa's parents were in birthing classes with us when we were pregnant. Joel and I didn't go (still feeling a little guilty about that...), but hopefully Mary will email me some pictures!






Today was Diana's 'Ladybug' birthday party. Diana and Maddy have been in playgroup together since they were about one, and I just can't believe they are turning 7! (Maddy's birthday is in a couple of weeks.) The girls made tissue paper flowers and butterflies- so cute. Diana even had a ladybug pinata, and a carrot cake with ladybugs on it. They played and had a jump rope contest! What a bunch of HAPPY little girls.
