Twins 3rd Birthday


It was a fiesta-filled weekend for the twins! The celebration started Friday night with a pizza party.
After dinner we played "Stick the Badge on Diego." The twins were excited to play, but quickly lost their enthusiasm when they were blindfolded.
The adults were good sports and still played even though the twins wouldn't.
Time for cake! I made a Backpack cake for Makenzie and Brayden got Map. Not the most beautiful things, but they jumped and cheered when they saw them.
They must've thought it tasted pretty good, because they each had THREE slices. One for each year I guess.Random birthday hugs!Next it was time for presents. They were spoiled by everyone! Here they are on the wiggle cars that Grandma and Grandpa Mildon gave them. They also got little laptops, Dora & Diego DVDs, the movie Cars (one of their faves!) a Toy Story Memory game, Tonka trucks, Fisher Price stamp and doodle thingees, a cash register, and some sandbox toys. It was 10 o'clock before they went to sleep. (Maybe three pieces of cake wasn't such a good idea.) They were still up bright and early Saturday morning, however, and ready to celebrate some more. We let them have cake for breakfast. Then they got to open their presents from us. Andy and I gave them a soccer goal and a t-ball stand.



Then we went outside and played with all the new toys.



Cousin Levi even came over and played for a little while before they left to go back to Texas.

After that we went to lunch at Arby's and headed to S & S Shortine Railroad in Farmington. It is a little hole-in-the-wall place in the middle of suburbia. The twins had a great time!

Little Miss Alexis got to go on a train ride too!

When we got home, everyone was ready for a nap. . .especially Mommy!
