Birthday Girls!

We had 2 birthdays in the past couple of weeks. First up was Sarah Faith on February 24th. Our first little girl has turned 8 already!! Where does the time go?!?! Sarah wanted an '8' cake. I had an idea in my head, but it didn't turn out exactly the same. But, Sarah liked it and that's all that matters. (BTW, for those of you who have heard about Haven and the food coloring, this was the first time she got into it. She picked up a dried up flake of black food coloring and put it in her mouth. WOW! Everything was black--her fingers, her lips, her mouth, her tongue, her teeth! Most of it came off with some scrubbing, but it was exciting the next day changing her diapers!!) Anyway, here are some pictures of Sarah and her birthday.

The girls got new snow hats and headbands

Sarah's new Bible!!

Um, nail polish?!?! That's a gift from DAD!!!
It's glow-in-the-dark no odor clear nail polish that
they're allowed to wear at home (thanks Hannah
for telling our girls about this!!!!!!!!!!!).

The girls with their matching skirts and shirts.
Sarah and Rachel also got matching doll clothes.

Next in the line of birthdays was Rachel Faith. She turned 6 on March 2. The girls have been counting the days until their birthdays since about Christmas time. The boys are glad to finally be done with them :) Rachel has her first wiggly tooth (well, now that it's past her birthday, the tooth is out--but that's for another post!). She requested a 'tooth' cake of all things!!! It was fun. Actually, it's not a cake. She doesn't really care for cake. She wanted 'tooth' brownies :) So, here they are...

Rachel's brownies

New magic Tree House books!

Rachel got a new Bible, too!

No, it's not Ethan's birthday, but he got a book, too!!

I have a few more pictures left from February and then we're on to March already. Talk about time flying....I'd really like time to slow down a bit. I'm getting old too fast. And, talking about old,...someone else has a birthday this month and this someone is getting pretty old!!!! Stay tuned!
