Some Birthday Celebrating

We had very low key birthdays this year. We figured it was probably the last birthday where we could get away with not having an actual party, so we thought we would take advantage. Next year Ellie will get a real party with lots of little friends.

This year, we made cakes for both Maggie and Ellie. Maggie's was first and whatever wasn't eaten by the time we made Ellie's got tossed. Ellie decided that Maggie needed a purple cake with white frosting and colorful sprinkles. We just made the basic round cake... like I said, we were low key this year.

Ellie opted for a pink cake with pink icing and purple writing. She also loved wearing a pink 'birthday' dress for the occasion.

On Ellie's birthday we went to Chuck's (ake Chuck E Cheese).

Maggie ate her entire share of pizza as well.

To be honest, I wasn't planning on doing any presents this year. From family, they received swim lessons and dressers for the new house. We definitely aren't in need of any toys or anything and since we are trying to save money, I wasn't planning on gifts. BUT- Ellie started saying how excited she was to open her presents.... SO I raced to Walmart and got her a couple things, mostly craft stuff. Here is Mags on the carousel, doesn't she look terrified?

Even though the girls had low key birthdays, I think they enjoyed themselves and we always have fun when we do stuff together.
