we ALL scream for ice cream! A cool theme in this unbearable hot weather!

Once again, I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream...sundaes. 

Cup, cone or bowl? Sprinkles, gummy bears, brownies, or straight sugar?

Yes, I'd say I was not loved by the parents, but really loved by the kids after this one. We started with ice cream, had a little fruit, junk food, p b & js, hot dogs, rice crispy cones, birthday cake and then ended with ice cream sundaes. Not only were the kids on a sugar rush, they were filthy and sticky...but that's what a kid loves right. I know mine did. Adde and Clare went all day long and then jumped in the pool after the party and came home to jumping from bed to bed for about an hour before finally crashing! 

Needless to say, we didn't have our bathing suits so they stripped down to their panties, grabbed some floaties and jumped in.

Hope you girls had another wonderful year and we look forward (well kind of) to the next one as 3 year olds! We love you so so much and can't wait for all of us to meet baby brother and gain an addition to our family.
