This year the girls birthday fell on a Monday. So we celebrated once they were done with school for the day. They wanted Spagetti for dinner, and they wanted ballet cakes.

These were my attempts at some ballet slippers on their cakes. They didn't turn out too bad, all things considered.
Their main present this year was getting their ears pierced. In addition they both made the other a necklace with their names on it. They were so surprised that the other had thought of them. And they did it all on their own. I was proud of them for wanting to give their sister something special.

They also got a new scarf, earings, a night gown and an outfit with a matching one for their dolls. They loved them. They were so excited since they wanted new clothes for their dolls.

Happy Birthday girls! Can't believe you are 8. Where has the time gone. I am so proud of you and the wonderful, kind, well behaved, smart girls that you are. Love you!
