Millie's birthday was Thursday. Austin and Melissa weren't planning on having a birthday party since they have been in Texas for a week for Melissa's grandma's funeral. Megan had the idea to have a surprise birthday party, so I called Austin and he was up for it. Megan ordered pizza and Britta made some cupcakes. We rang the doorbell, Melissa and Millie opened the door, and we yelled, "Surprise! Happy Birthday!" Millie was so happy. We ate pizza and the kids played in the basement.
Millie got this stuffy on Thursday. It looks just like their cat Beau! She named him Lil Bub and she was carrying him around the whole time we were there.
Aunt Britta reads to Millie and Maddie. They were so adorable curled up by her.
Time for presents!
How cute is this?! All the girls love unicorns and the bright colors are appealing. This will be so cute on Millie. Megan always finds the cutest clothes. Remember the Christmas dresses?
This cute little boom box plays "Trolls Just Want To Have Fun," a spin on "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." By the time we left all the girls could sing it. It is such a catchy song. Claire was singing into the microphone like a pro. You can also hook the boom box up to a phone and play whatever music you want.
We gave Millie this jewelry box. I gave Claire a jewelry box when she turned 6 and maybe I'll make this a tradition. She was pretty excited when she saw it.
Millie wanted to show us her Kindergarten scrapbook. She had such a great teacher who took so many cute pictures of her first year at school.
Birthday cupcakes are the best!
The girls wanted to swim in their inflatable backyard pool, but it rained for a bit and was quite cloudy. They jumped on the trampoline instead and when they came in Millie gave the girls a pair of stick on earrings that I gave her with the jewelry box. They all danced around and wanted to show off their pretty ears.
Happy Birthday sweet Millie!
Today is also the Fourth of July. No celebrations because of Covid, no fireworks because of a statewide fire ban due to several fires in the state. The fireworks were just cancelled a few days ago and I was so sad. With all the Covid restrictions, we would at least be able to buy some fireworks and watch the town display. They have shot them off from a butte near the Red Hawk golf course the last couple of years and they can be seen from almost anywhere in town, which means there are no large gatherings because most people can see them from home. And now we don't get to have them. Grump! Ryan and the girls wanted to barbeque, so it will at least seem like a holiday and we get to experience one traditional thing for this day. Ryan was the chef and it was tasty!
