Happy 1/2 Birthday!

We celebrated Kimee and Audrey's 1/2 birthday on Friday, January 21. It was so exciting for them. Sorry I didn't take any pictures, but I wanted to tell what happened anyway. Kimee really likes to know when she is officially her age and a half. Now she is 7 1/2 and Audrey is 4 1/2 (even though she looks like she's 6).
Unfortunately, I had forgotten it was their 1/2 birthday. Thank goodness for Chuck E. Cheese email coupons, because I got one that afternoon for their half-birthday. When we got home from school I secretly made cupcakes with sprinkles. I ran downstairs and wrapped a couple of presents that I had set aside for birthday parties or emergencies like this. Then, when Dave got home I announced that we were celebrating some thing very special that night. The girls had to guess what it was with a few clues. They were so excited. After dinner, they got to blow out their candles on their cupcakes. We had to repeat the candle blowing several times because it's just so much fun, and then they got to open their presents.

Kimee couldn't wait to tell her teacher at school and bring treats for her whole class. She was insistent on this, and very excited about it. So we went to the store and bought Hostess cupcakes for the class to have on Monday. In Kindergarten and 1st grade, her birthday was celebrated around her half birthday. But this year her teacher is celebrating summer birthdays in May. I guess they will just get double treats from Kimee :)
