Birthday Girls

 Natalie and Amanda turned a whopping six years old on January 3rd and we have had some very fun celebrations in honor of their birth.

Our celebrations started out with mani/pedis with their best friends on the day of their birthday.  They all had so much fun!

Natalie shows off her pretty golden finger nails.

And Amanda had a sparkly pale pink. 

They both got very dark blue toes in contrast to their pale colored fingernails.   Here are all the girls lounging at the salon.

And here are the beautiful nails and toes.

After we got home from the salon, we had some yummy cake that daddy made for the girls.  Vanilla for Natalie and chocolate for Amanda.

And then we opened a few presents.  These Hello Kitty sleeping bags were quite a hit and helped Natalie and Amanda prepare for the big upcoming slumber party.

Amanda decided to try it out immediately.  She went right to sleep!

They also received this cute little kitty and puppy.  Stuffed kitties are the only kind allowed at our house due to severe allergies.

A few weeks after their actual birthday, we held a Fairy Special Birthday Slumber party at our house. Mom and Dad were BRAVE to host five girls in addition to the brood at our house.

We decorated and made it all look very pretty!  Some beautiful fairy wings, tutus and wands for each little fairy was in order.

And we had fun making these cute little fairy cupcakes.

Here are Fairy Amanda and Fairy Natalie waiting in anticipation for their friends to come.

After their friends arrived, we had a wonderful visitor -- Fairy Tilly.  She entertained the girls with a wonderful magic show,

some balloon making,

a few songs,

and some fairy special painting.

After Fairy Tilly departed, we sang happy birthday and blew out all of the candles.

And then we partied ALL NIGHT LONG.  Well, it felt like all night for Mom and Dad anyway.

Happy Birthday Natalie and Amanda.  We love you and are very proud of the grown up girls you have become!
