2 Birthdays

Sarah's birthday was on the 15th. She turned 8. We originally planned to have a birthday sleepover on the 20th, but her little party guest had the flu so we put it off a week. Last night was the big night! (You may remember this same little girl from last year's birthday sleepover pictures--it's Sarah's best bud Madison...who happens to be the daughter of a dear friend of mine who I've known literally since birth!)
First they sat at the coffee table & ate pizza & opened Sarah's gift.

Then they changed into their PJs & sat at the bar & sang Happy Birthday over a plate full of cupcakes. I LOVE the look on Sarah's face in this one. Larry was standing beside her & was making the song sound silly. The pride & the giggles in her eyes make my heart smile!


Madison brought her Littlest Pet Shop toys & they compiled them with the ones we own. Oh my goodness. It was an evening of a million tiny animals in the girls' bedroom! Savannah even joined in to play!
I know this one is a little hard to see, but the girls made a big fluffy blanket & sleeping bags pallet on the floor & piled up pillows to watch movies til they konked out...sometime between midnight & 1am! They had a great night.

Today is the day we're celebrating King's birthday as well. Yes, our dog. :) Last year, we adopted him on Leap Day (Feb. 29th). Since we won't see that date again for 4 years, we're celebrating on the 28th. We have no idea when his ACTUAL birthdate is, so we're using the day we got him as his birthday! Happy Birthday sweet boy!!!!!!!!!
