May is the birthday month!

Both girls have birthdays this month!

Sophia will turn FIVE on Saturday, May 14 and Lilly will be THREE on Friday, May 27th! It really is unreal that they are growing up so fast.

I've got their birthday parties lined up.

Sophia's party is going to be on her actual birthday - from 1-3 at the library (in the meeting room). She wanted to have an art party and invite ALL of her friends. If everyone shows up there will be 16 girls (including Sophia and Lilly) enjoying the activities. We're having a butterfly themed party. We'll be doing 3 or 4 butterfly crafts - including decorating butterfly shaped cookies and painting butterfly suncatcher windchimes. I also found a pull string butterly pinata and plastic butterfly rings to place on top of each cupcake. We'll play pin the butterfly on the flower and a few other games.

Lilly is going to have her party a week later (a few days before her actual birthday because her b'day falls on Friday of Memorial Day weekend). Lilly's party is going to be at 10:30 on the 21st. We're going to do a repeat of Sophia's 3rd b'day party. It's going to be at a strawberry patch and we're going to have a Strawberry Shortcake theme...and Lilly LOVES Strawberry Shortcake. The Easter bunny actually brought her a Strawberry Shortcake movie in her basket this year. We'll be inviting all of Lilly's classmates and a few of her other friends. All the kids will get a basket to pick as many strawberries as they can. Lilly has the cutest blue dress with big red strawberries all over it. I can't wait to see her in it.
