Birthday Bonanza!

This is birthday season at the Sandusky household. It started with my birthday, which we celebrated in Texas with Mike's family because it was Mike's mom's birthday, too. I took pictures with my cool phone which I lost, so you can't see them.
Next came Jessica's--she turned 12!!

We decided the birthday girl need to wake up with Silly String.

Mikayla had about a bajillion birthday treats turning 10 at Disney World, but we still made our own when we got home.

Then the next weekend, Gran and Kennedi came down. We went bowling and got manicures, and celebrated Gran's birthday!

Jessica's cool bowling shoes and funky socks.

The candles are in the shape of her age. Roughly.

A couple of weeks later I let Jessica and Mikayla have a combined birthday party, using "Molly's Mystery Game" that Jessica had given Mikayla for Christmas. It was the easiest party I've ever done, and a lot of fun.

 The girls were supposed to come as characters that were specified on their invitations, and each one had a script, and I set up a few props, and we acted it out! And of course we had cake and presents, too.

Jessica was Mrs. Gilford...or else she's graying early, like her mother.

Then everyone jumped on the trampoline and played Chinese jumprope until their parents came.

The next birthday we celebrated was invented by Jessica--she gave a surprise party for Rebecca's doll, Rosie!

Dolls were included.

Rebecca turns 6 on Tuesday, and then we'll be done with birthdays until August! Phew!
