Happy Birthday Natalie and Amanda

Natalie and Amanda turned 3 on Monday, which was also the day they returned to school after their Winter Break. They were excited to go back to school since they got to have a "birthday circle" that day. For the birthday circle, we made posters with pictures of each stage of their lives thus far. The girls helped us decorate them once we had the pictures in place.

Here is Natalie's poster.







And Amanda's.






As the birthday honorees, Natalie and Amanda got to sit in chairs while all of their little friends formed a circle on the floor.




Then, their teacher lit a candle and offered them a small globe, which they carried around the circle 3 times, one for each year of their lives.



After completing each circle, they placed one flower in the vase.





After they were all done, they got to make a wish and blow out the candle.



And then we had a yummy treat of muffins and yogurt.






Later that night, we celebrated with chocolate cupcakes. Here are the girls anxiously awaiting the arrival of those cupcakes.





And getting ready to blow out the candles.....





....there they go!




Later, we opened a few presents.




And wore these fun tutus.




Not to be forgotten, Will was part of the action too!




We saved some presents for opening on another day. Here are the girls opening up some new baby dolls. They were very busy for quite some time thereafter giving their babies a bath and changing their diapers.


Will had to help Amanda with the opening.






And here are the girls doing a little sit n spin.
