same birthday

Yesterday was Bill's birthday. If you were to ask him about it there would not have been much excitement, in fact it was just another day. However, to Jennifer, her daddy's birthday is a big deal. Really any one's birthday is a big deal but being the daddy's girl that she is it was pretty great that it was dad's birthday. While Bill was gone yesterday morning we made him brownies, he would much rather have birthday brownies than cake. Our plan all day yesterday was to put candles in the brownies and sing happy birthday, Jennifer really, really wanted to do that. However, we were busy outside and then had to get ready for a wedding so it just didn't happen. Today as soon as we got home from church Jennifer was insistent that we have brownies and sing. Here is what Jennifer told Bill at one point: "Dad, same birthday, me and you. Lucky." She wanted us to sing to her too so she was trying to convince us that she shared a birthday with dad. It was really cute. Oh the excitement when it was finally time to light the candles and sing! I love enjoying the littlest of moments that make our girls so very excited!

Blowing the candles out! (It was Bill's golden birthday yesterday, if you were wondering how old he is.)

Yeah, the candles are blown out!

Jennifer has it figured out with cake that when you take the candles out there is frosting on them, not quite the same with brownies, but it was worth a try.

A birthday kiss for dad and Mikayla is going to check out the brownies while no one is looking.

This sweet girl has been a ham lately. She wrinkles up her nose, it is really too cute!

After some brownies and ice cream the girls and dad had some fun in the pool.

Jennifer loves the spotlight, if you didn't know already. Yesterday evening we went to a wedding and after the ceremony Jennifer was quick to find where the pastor had been standing with the bride and groom and was going to give her own little ceremony.

I also had to include this picture. Friday afternoon we were going to go for a walk and run some errands while out. Bill told Jennifer she needed some shoes on, this what she came out of her room wearing! She had gotten in her "dress-up" clothes and picked out two night gowns (on backwards) and this hat. Public speaking or a career in fashion the choice is going to be hard for her!
