Samantha and Mallory went to a birthday party for Maggie. It was a Pinkalicious theme at Sweet and Sassy. The girls had their fingers done, make-up, and an up-do. Then they walked the runway. They were so cute!
Raegan has finally gotten a chance to try out basketball. She signed up with Caitlin L, a friend from her Odyssey team. They actually play in Grapevine on a team coached by a dad of a first grader at Raegan's school. Raegan is really having a fun time. I wouldn't say that it's her sport, but it's fun nonetheless. She of course is overly aggressive and fast on the court. But put a ball in her hand and she's pretty slow with it. She's learning and having fun doing it. She'll probably play again in Roanoke in the fall. Go Lady Comets!
Well because I have such wonderful luck, I had to completely replan the twins' birthday party at the last minute. We were scheduled to have a super fun petting zoo at the park. And of course it rained...all day long. But luckily I was able to find a last minute place to have a party and it worked out just great. The girls had a blast with their friends at Jump Zone. They played for 90 minutes and then had pizza and cupcakes (themed after the zoo party).
Another Sharer tradition is to celebrate birthdays as a family and also with friends. So on the twins' birthday, we had everyone over for dinner, cake, play and presents. The girls get sung to at separate times. As you can see, Mallory blushed when we were singing to her and Samantha thought it was great. The girls got bikes for their birthday. They also got backpacks, money for clothes, dog vet set, cat parlor set, and a slip and slide. They all had a great time playing outside with bikes and trikes. Both Samantha and Mallory picked up the bike quickly and just love riding their big bikes!
In Sharer tradition, everyone has to stand next to the tree in the front for pictures on their birthday. Then we follow that up with a trip to the donut store to have a birthday donut with Ms. Jemma. This year we asked grandpa and Bubbie and grandma and grandpa Sharer to tag along. (Bryan had to work.) The girls all just love Ms. Jemma and she loves them all too. She is so good about remembering all the kids' names and asking about them when we're in her store. Such a fun tradition. The girls really enjoyed their big donut this year and the singing that accompanies it.
