Birthday Party!

This past Saturday we had a joint party for Molly and Claire (Claire is March 3 and Molly is March 25) with our families. We went to Red Mountain Park, and we couldn't have asked for better weather!


Claire needed to finish texting before she could pose for pictures.




We ate the traditional park lunch fare of hamburgers and hot dogs.





The cousins are all pretty young, making this pinata pretty tough to crack. But once it was finally opened they had no problem making a mad dash for the candy, including Claire.








Molly flying her new kite from Auntie Jessie and my dad flying Molly.



It took many tries to get the candles lit because the wind was so strong, and I've never heard "Happy Birthday" being sung so fast so the candles would stay lit.




Claire had no trouble acclimating herself to the new world of sweets.



Presents!





Once we got home we spent the entire afternoon playing with the new toys. My mom got Molly a Samantha American Girl Doll (the doll I absolutely coveted growing up) and I hoped she would like it, but this kind of play isn't exactly what I had in mind for her.

Boy, that looks like a blast. So summery! The girls' dresses are really cute. I love matching!

Cute pictures. Love the birthday dresses! Gymboree? Now I am guess that that is your adorable Roman look alike nephew in the previous post. He's a doll.

I didn't realize your family had so many birthdays in March. Molly is a girl after my own heart riding on that bouncy ball (they used to be called Hoppity Hops and I wore out a bunch of them). Tell them Great Auntie Holly said Happy Birthday!
