9th Birthday Party

For the girls' birthday party this year, we opted to go low key. We did a little family party in the back yard.  The big treat of the day was taking them to Metro Gymnastics for an hour of happy bouncing, swinging and playing.


Attempt at a full family picture using the camera timer.  Jocelyn didn't get the timing quite right.

We made a birthday cake and a bowl of birthday frosting.  Frosting is a favorite treat for both girls.

Watching the candles re-light themselves.

Kathryn blowing out her "9" candle.

Jocelyn steps up to blow it out next.

Opening presents. Most of the pics from this birthday are of the top of the girls' heads.  No one wanted to look up long enough for a picture!

Kathryn's favorite present of the day - a hippo shape sorter that she has seen on Baby Einstein for years.

Girls happily playing with their presents.

A brief glimpse of Jocie's eyes as she played with her new stuff in the grass.

Twins in a foam pit at Metro.

Kate got a huge kick out of the pit.

Papa rolled Jocie around in this little contraption.

Jumping takes a toll after a while.

Kate stretching out.

Jocelyn couldn't get enough of the chalk bin.

She would clap her hands together and yell "SNOW!"

This is what most of the hour looked like.  Twins in motion!  Perfect birthday for our active girls.
