2 Kids, 2 Birthdays, 1 day

Today Sydney (9) and Jevan (4) had a combined birthday party. Their birth dates are only four days apart and we waited until their older sister, Dallas, had a day off work so Sunday was the day! It was all family who was here, and I think everyone had fun.

Dallas & Jevan

We ate hotdogs, had a delicious cake, and mainly ate way too much "un" healthy stuff! When I baked the cake yesterday morning I used Tipnut.com's hint and it came out delish! (Okay shoot me I used a "mix" but they are just so darn cheap and easy!)

Sydney picked out the colours and I did the decorating!

It took me about a month but I was finally able to get my hands on a Nintendo Wii, it's all worth it when you see your child's face at her birthday party! She really didn't have a clue she was getting it :) I hope she realizes she only owns 50% of it because her brother owns the other 50! Ooooohhhh I can hear the fighting already...

Then here's Jevan opening a gift from Uncle Frank, and yes that's Christmas paper because that's all I had and besides if Frank wanted something different for the kids then he should have gone out and bought some, or even reminded me to buy some, what is it with brothers, are they not supposed to remind their older sisters (two minutes) of little details like this?... Okay I'll stop rambling, but darnit, I totally forgot about birthday wrapping paper. Ah well, I could have shoved everything into plastic grocery bags, although that wouldn't have been a first :)

Sydney and some "old" gal (gosh look at those wrinkles!) who is seldom on this side of the camera and who also forgot to put on makeup (or was she too busy? She can't remember), at least she's not wearing her reading glasses :)
