Yup! Strawberry Shortcake! She's back and cute as ever. She was my favorite when I was a kid and they have revamped her look and has a new cartoon that the girls LOVE! Perfect for a Strawberry Shortcake themed birthday. The girls had a great time eating pizza, cake and snacks all day long. It was great to have friends and family there to help celebrate our little girls turning 3!!
Here was the invite

I am filled with such emotion today. My babies are 3! I am overwhelmed with love for them. They complete my family in every way. They make me smile, laugh and lately cry because I love them so much and just can't get enough of them!
They are learning so much now. The are pretty much potty trained. Sophie took to it much faster than Emma. Emma just likes to get a potty treat so now she is doing pretty well. They know how to play on the computer by themselves. They love to dance! ( I am so excited to see if they will want to do dance!!) They play so well with Ethan. I have loved watching them play together lately. Such good friends. They still fight with each other but you can tell they love each other so much!
Some of my favorite things about Emma include tucking her in at night. She always wants me to do "burrito baby". When we do kisses I always say "Lets do hugs....but not TOO big", then she hugs me so tight. We do that with kisses too. She LOVES cars and trucks. She has been playing with them constantly lately. One of my favorite things to say to her lately is "No way Jose" then she says " OH YES Jose" It is soooo cute! She also sometimes comes up to me with her hair all staticy and says "My hair CRAZY" With her hands on her head in despair. It is so cute!
Sophie is my little princess. She loves to have her hair braided and sparkles on her toes. They got a little vanity for their birthday with a fake hair drier and she loves to pretend to dry her hair. She has gotten into my mascara more than once and come to me with black all over her eyes. She is so independent and such a fast learner. When I am acting funny she always says "Silly MOMMY"! So cute! She also says "Oh my GOODNESS! Don't make a mess Emma."
I am truly lucky to have these little blessings in my life!
I just can't wrap my head around the fact that Ethan is 5 already. It honestly seems like it was yesterday that we were just starting our family. He has grown into such a smart, kind, and funny little boy......no......BIG boy. After thoughts of doing a Justin Beiber Birthday party ( with some help steering him away from that idea ) he decided to have a Cars birthday party. This is the first year we have done it at home and I have to say it was a great success! Everyone had such a good time and I think Ethan had just as much fun as going somewhere.
This is the first game I had planned....They punched out a light and there was a car and some candy for them.
The second game was pin the car on the racetrack and a racetrack ramp for them to play on.
AND..... a finish line PHOTO to end the game portion of the night!
After opening many fun presents he was so excited to get MATH DICE from his Auntie Stacy! Silly kid!
Everyone watching Ethan open presents.
He was so cute...He kept his foot like that the whole time to keep his presents from falling.
He LOVES the show Minute to Win IT!
And the gift he has been asking for for WEEKS......drum roll........DR. Dreadful ZOMBIE LAB!!! (YUCK) LOL
CAKE!
Playing one of his new games with his friends!!
Oh and another movie he was super excited about was the JUSTIN BEIBER MOVIE of course. LOL Thanks Sylvester FAM!!
I cant believe you are already 5 ETHAN!! I love you so much! I hope you had a great birthday!!
We went to Leatherby's for their birthday DAY celebration. They were not so happy. The only way we are able to keep them content lately is with my iphone. They either watch Special Agent Oso or play a puzzle game and they are content and not crying and wanting to run all over the restaurant. They got to eat some rainbow ice cream and I was able to enjoy my yummy Amy's Hot Fudge Brownie!!! Yummmmm They also did a little dancing to the jukebox!
For their birthday party we went to The Incredible Pizza Company....again. Yeah that is was we did for Ethans Birthday too but they enjoyed it so much we thought what the heck. They had a good time opening presents, and playing in the arcade / play area. The toddler area is SO cute. There is a tiny slide, a tiny dance dance revolution type game and a tiny air hockey. I love it! The only bad thing that came out of our visit was that Sophie got sick. :( Poor little thing.
Birthday Outfits!!!
Opening presents and eating some FOOD!
Play Time!
Car ride home.....pooped.
Then on Sunday we did our dinner at grandmas and they opened the presents from me and my mom that we didnt want to haul to the party place. Poor little Sophie was sick and only wanted to cuddle and drink juice all night. Ethan helped where needed in opening her presents. LOL
Emma opening presents and loving each one. LOL
And poor little sick Sophie. Just wanted to hang out in grandpas chair.
Happy Birthday Girls....You will always be my little baby girls. :)
I can't believe it has already been two years sense my little girls were born. It makes me sad that they are getting so big so fast. I love the baby stage and now they are out of it. It makes me sad because they are most likely the last little ones that I will have. I say most likely because you never know.....Right?
They each have their own unique personalities and I love seeing them grow into a tiny little grown ups! They (for the most part) are happy little girls. They are for sure more dramatic than Ethan ever was!
Emma is my quiet one. She doesn't say much. Maybe her sister does enough talking for the both of them. She makes the cutest squishy face that I have ever seen! She is super smart and so curious about everything. She loves to test our limits and when she is caught she runs away as fast as possible. She is happy to keep herself entertained just trying to figure things out, like where the tv chord ends up or where this key fits.
Sophie is my little talker. She has been talking for quite a while. She is a VERY picky eater. She basically only eats hot dogs, wheels and cheese, sugary cereal, and toast. She is a girlie girl. She loves to get her hair done and LOVES shoes! She is a little dare devil and loves to climb on everything. She also loves to shake her groove thing! Her favorite thing to say right now is "Oh NO" and "NO".
They both love to give kisses and have just started to kiss each other....SOOOO cute! They love to laugh together and I can see them being great friends throughout their life. They still let me cuddle them once in a while and I cherish those moments when I can get them. I am so blessed to have them in my life and cant imagine my life without either one of them!
Girls I love you so much and am so proud of both of you! I hope you have a great birthday!!
