Double Birthday Party!

While we were in Cleveland this past week we celebrated the girls birthdays. We had their party at a rec center that we visit often while in Cleveland because they have a great kid pool. This happens to be Ruthie and Lulu's favorite place to go with Grandpa and Uncle Kevin. So it was only fitting that we had their birthday parties there. We had pizza, snacks and cakes and then some much anticipated swimming. There were only 4 kids there, Ruthie, Lulu and my BFF Kelly's friends kids who are 2 and 5 months, but many adults, none who got in the water other than Simon and Justin.

The girls were blessed with many loved ones coming to share in their celebration. Ruthie had the best time ever, I barely have any pictures of her because she was running all over the place or hopping like a frog, and Lulu was a bit more timid. She would not get off Simon's lap the entire time and was a little overwhelmed by all the excitement. She only went in the water when there was about 10 mionutes left. Oh well better luck next time.

Also, the girls were so happy to get to spend the week with their Gammy. The always love cuddling, playing and just being with her. And she was kind enough to babysit one night while I met Simon in Detoit for a business dinner.

Singing happy birthday. Ruthie's cake had pink flowers and frogs and Lulu's cake had purple butterflies and elephant.
