The One With the Girls 7th Birthday

I still can't believe I have 7 year olds. How fast has the last seven years been? So fast.

Before I get to the girls birthday day, I wanted to share their outdoor mud kitchen that they got for Christmas. My in-laws brought it over the day before their birthday as we had too much snow to get it there on Christmas Day. 

And we put it in our guest bedroom for now until it warms up outside. We have been having temperatures in the 20s and so many storms.

Rory and I took the girls birthday off and did all the girls favorite things. Ok, not all of them, but a bunch of them.

We got up, got ready and headed to breakfast at Pine State Biscuits. The girls choice. We had pancakes, biscuits and bacon.  

Then we took them to their first surprise...we went to see Sing 2 with my parents. The girls were so happy to have grandma and papa there too. The girls got candy and popcorn and we all watched the movie which was sooo cute. Definitely worth seeing.

After the movie, we headed home and the girls opened up their gifts. Now if you follow me on Instagram, then you might have seen where I asked how many gifts do you give for Christmas, birthday and from Santa. I had all sorts of different answers and settled on 5 gift for each of them. The girls received ballet shoes/slippers, Nevada Wolf Pack hats (they they have been asking for), Hanna Andersson Dresses, Hanna Andersson leggings and makeup sets. They asked Santa for makeup sets, but I wanted to save the ballet shoes and makeup for their birthday.



Yes those are play heels that my in-laws got them months ago that they always wear (only in the house).

Then we watched some football before heading to dinner. I did snap this photo of them before we left. Look at how grown up they are.


Then we headed to Bangkok Cuisine for Thai food. The girls love panang curry, pad thai, rice and roti.

After dinner, we then went to a cirque du soleil holiday themed show named Holiday Dreams. Even though it is very Christmas based, they focus on the holiday season. It was so much fun and very impressive!
I suck at taking selfies, but we had to capture the evening.




The girls loved the show. It was so much fun! I got tons of videos and posted them to my Instagram as pictures don't do enough justice.

After the show, we headed home and tucked our newly 7 year olds into bed. Then we watched an episode of Goliath and snapped this photo. I put up a few decorations for the girls and they always love these balloons!

    1. It was the girls first time and they loved it. I want to go take them to a show in Vegas, but I think they need to be a lot older. Ha. Thank you so much!

    Look at them in those heels - they're doing better than me just standing in them - LOL
    I loved your videos of that show - how people do these things with their bodies just blows my mind

    1. It was a great day. And of course we took the day off. I want it to be special for them since it is right between the holidays and is often overlooked by many. Oh they are so funny in their heels. I can't walk in them either. I only let them wear those inside. Ha. It blows my mind too. It was very cool to see it in person. I can't wait to go to another one!

  8. 7. Goodness. They looked so cute in their birthday dresses. The cirque du soleil show looked so cool! It is always hard to balance how much to give for holidays and birthdays. I usually tend to go overboard.

    1. Thank you. They always want to dress up and it is always dresses for them. It was such a cool show. I am glad that we went and that it is was family friendly. I tend to go overboard too. We just had their party and it was pricey, but worth it!
