A Golden Birthday

 September 5th was Brenna and Brooke's 5th birthday,

and their golden one at that!

 

They had school that day, so we had them choose a place to go for dinner. The girls chose Peter Piper Pizza, and had fun playing games and eating pizza. After dinner we had family come over to our house to have cake and ice cream. Brooke had a very specific request for a chocolate cake with cream and strawberries on top.

 Next we opened presents. The birthday wish list consisted of the following:

Brooke- a red scarf from Target, a Dr. kit, makeup, a lamp for her room etc.

Brenna- an ice cream play dough kit, makeup, strawberry shortcake purse, etc.

They got a lot of fun stuff:)

 We gave the girls the option of having a birthday party with one friend each, or going to the lake with extended family (which had been planned earlier). After some thought, they decided to go to the lake and do a friend party next year. We were happy to oblige:) So we left around 530am the Saturday after their birthday, and headed to Roosevelt Lake.

  We all had a great time! It was overcast and not too hot, which was perfect for being on the lake. The girls got to ski, ride on the wave runner, the banana boat, and the tube. Even Dallin got to ride along with the help of Kevin. I enjoyed being in charge of the flag inside the boat or on the wave runner. Kevin tried out riding an air chair and got some air on the banana boat. We all had a blast and were so glad we went:)
