Aly's Birthday Celebration

This week we celebrated Aly's birthday. This was the first year that I had decided to make sure and celebrate their actual birthday separately. Since their birth dates are only 8 days apart we typically have a birthday party with their friends and one family party and we celebrate them together. This year I decided the girls are getting old enough to experience their own special day. So they will get a lot of celebrating in. On the day of their birthday they will get the royal treatment and be able to pick the restaurant of their choice for dinner. Then they will have their friends birthday party together. So in all we will celebrate three times in a week! That is a lot of cupcakes. Here are some pictures and videos documenting Aly's birthday.

For breakfast Aly wanted Mickey Mouse pancakes. So I made them special with some pink, red, and white chocolate chips!

Aly was so excited to be able to have her best girl friend Maya over for the day! What a great birthday that made for her. They had fun playing store. I even got to buy goods from their store for free!

The birthday girl got to pick what she wanted for lunch. So cheese pizza and root beer it was! They loved lunch!

We got her 6 pink roses for her birthday. I think this was the first time she has gotten flowers with the exception of the day she was born.

Aly decided to go to Red Lobster for her birthday. Thank goodness I had a $50 gift card I had earned through mypoints.com.

Here are the dalmatian cupcakes I made for her birthday. I will be them for the party with their friends and for KK's birthday as well.

KK was in love with the dalmatian cupcakes. She has been pretending to be Pongo from 101 Dalmatians for about 6 months now.

Here is Aly as we sing Happy Birthday to her.

Here is a video of Aly opening her card and present from Mommy and Daddy.

Poor KK, she didn't understand that it wasn't her birthday.
