More birthday!

 Here's a pic of the girls playing "bride."  Hailey as groom, Em as bride, and Addy was the dog in this particular shot. :)

Then last week, our sweet niece Erin had her FIRST birthday!  She is ONE already!!!  She has really changed the last couple of months and really seems so much bigger now!

 Diggin' in to her cake!  She did great!!

 Then here are some pics of the girls on their birthday.  The blue bunnies are from school  In Pre-K, when it's your birthday, you get to take "Blueberry Bunny" home with you for the day to take around with you and to play with.  Well their teacher had to scrounge up a few more bunnies for us!  So the girls took Blueberry Bunny home, Brother Bunny, and Baby Bunny! :)

 We had such a fun morning.  We blew up a ton of balloons the night before and filled their floor so when they woke up, balloons were everywhere!  Then Ryan took the day off of work since the girls didn't have school today and we had breakfast together and then watched home videos of the girls when they were only 3 pounds. ...Then we went to the mall because the girls wanted their EARS PIERCED!!  Here's Em before hand...

 My 5 year olds!! (HAE)

 So Em wanted to go first to get her ears pierced.  So Ryan took Hailey and Addison around the mall because we figured one at a time was much better. :)  So Em went first and unfortunately only one worker was working...so she did one of Em's ears...and then she BAWLED and screamed and cried and was SCARED to get the next one done.  Total refusal.  I did NOT expect this and did not know what to do!  We were bribing everything.  The worker was even promising Emily that I'd buy her tons of new toys!  (What?!?) But nothing was working.  The worker said we'd have to pay all over again if Emily didn't finish her other ear.  Ahh!  So now I REALLY wanted her to finish!  OH boy.  Turns out she wouldn't do it until her sisters went.  So we tried Addison instead.  Addy got right up there and did one ear...she got a little teary but gave me a smile like this....  like she was so proud of herself and I was too.  :)  Then she just turned and she did the other one.  No prob.  PHEW!

 Then Hailey didn't even shed a tear!  She turned her head.  Pierced.  Turned her head.  Pierced again.  Not a flinch!  I couldn't believe it!  She was pumped!

 So then it was Em's turn to finish up.  Maybe she figured if her sister's could do it, she could too.  So for her second ear, she didn't even tear up!  I don't get it!  But it all took over an hour to do!  They look SO big and love their little piercings now.  :)

 Then we took them to Red Robin for lunch...(EAH)

 and then we had a little family birthday party over here with Grandpa and Grandma, Shane & Jody & Erin, and Papa Hank and Pauline!  Addison wanted pizza for dinner.  Hailey requested cantaloupe.  And Emily wanted an Angel Food Cake with raspberries.  Nice! :)
