Girls' Birthday Dinner

Nena & Papa always have the kids each pick out a restaurant to go to for their birthday dinner.  This year, Lucy & Iris both picked the same local Chinese restaurant, so they had their birthday dinner together.  Iris won't have her birthday for a few more weeks, but we decided to do it in between their birthdays.

We all ordered our food and while we waited, we decided to let the girls start opening their gifts.

They each got money from Aunt Rita...

Lucy gave her sister a Disney animation app for her LeapPad...

Iris gave Lucy a turquoise book light...

Clyde gave Iris the 'RolyPoly' app for her LeapPad...

He gave Lucy a coloring book she had been wanting...

Sherry and David gave Iris her GREATLY DESIRED 'Brave' LeapPad Game...
Okay, so I TRIED to get David to smile or make regular eyes in this picture...I even took multiple pics, but he just wouldn't, so....

They gave Lucy 2 books, each by one of her favorite authors.  She has finished them both already, but will read them each 10 more times.

Stephen & I gave Iris a tote for her LeapPad and a Tinkerbell game (which had not arrived in the mail yet...now it has though!)

Nena and Papa gave Iris the 'PetPals' & 'I Spy' LeapPad games...

Nena, Papa, Stephen & I went in together to get Lucy a nice camera with a card and case.  Nena and Papa also got her some Legos...

Afterward, we had brownies for the girls.  We sang 'Happy Birthday' and they blew out their candles.

Then the kids all crowded around Iris and her LeapPad to play the 'Brave' game, right there in the restaurant floor :)

Great fun was had by all!!  Thanks Nena & Papa!!

  1. What a lovely post about the girls' birthday party. I love the way you did the photos Mindy. I almost felt like I was there (and wishing I had been). It's such a shame we live so far apart, but it's great now being on facebook and I can read about you. Iris and Lucy are SO beautiful. And I love the way they did their hair for the party. BEAUTIFUL indeed. Happy Birthday Lucy and Iris, from Papa's sister, Aunt Janet
