Erin's birthday started with Erin calling me while I was at work...."mom this is Erin, can I get my ears pierced?" I was a bit taken back by the question and I told her we would talk about it when I got home from work. She said, "Well dad and I are already here and I am sitting in the chair!" Needless to say.... she now has her ears pierced!
We had a family party for her. She chose to have a Strawberry Shortcake theme.
A picture of her cake (obviously.)
Here are Ivy and Erin sporting their new stylish sunglasses.
The day after Erin's birthday we had her first ever friend party. We had a "fairy" themed party at the Ogden Treehouse Museum. We are faithful members here. They are GREAT with kids. They started the party off with stories and crafts. They then let the kids have some free time to play with the millions of things they have at the museum. We ended the party with cake, ice cream, and presents. Erin said this was the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!

The tee-pee (is that politically correct?)
This is their newest feature....a long curvy slide that comes down out of their GIANT treehouse. It was the biggest hit of all that we did.
Ivy again.... She ran around telling me to take her picture here, take it here, mom take it again here. What a girl!
They do not allow candles at the Treehouse so they provide a cute windmill thing for them to blow instead of candles.
Ivy loved this giant chess game. 
This is Erin's little friend Ashley. She fell and scraped her knee on her way into the building. She cried and cried. However, this picture was taken about an hour later. Any time someone asked her how her knee was she was able to produce a stream of fresh tears! Poor thing.

Hi Mindy! I'm glad you found our blog! I totally feel your pain about being without a computer. Ours was broken last week for 3 whole days and I thought I was going to go crazy. :)
Oh my goodness! That is so funny that Erin called to ask about ear piercing when she was sitting in the chair!! :) What a cool-looking museum! Is it newish? If I had known about it, I would have taken Dylan to it when we lived there.
Okay - emergency room on Mother's Day? You must tell me the story, my dear.
What a fun birthday! So did you make the birthday cake? Erin loves Strawberry Shortcake as well and her birthday is this weekend. Can you tell that I so don't know what we are doing? Good thing she is just turning 2! I used to love the Ogden Treehouse. I used to take Seth there quite a bit before moving to Texas!
