Technicolor Cupcakes, Take Two

Last week we celebrated Sleeping Beauty and Snow White's 12th birthday.  We had so much fun at Cinderella's Cupcake Party, we decided to do the same thing again.  Despite having no school the entire week, their friends braved the ice-covered roads and came to the party.  We had pizza (which was delivered, albeit 45 minutes late (which worked out fine when they gave us half off!)) and watched Cake Boss and decorated cupcakes and giggled and opened presents and played games and sang "Happy Birthday" (twice, of course--12 minutes apart) and posed for pictures and had a super great time.

This time, we had a "Birthday Cupcake" category, and a "TV Show" category for decorating.  Much to Cinderella's delight, her team won the best over-all cupcake this time.  I think no one really cared who won, they just had a good time creating.  It was fun to watch them work together. They have a fun group of friends.

I think I am still in shock that my babies are twelve years old.  We just can't say enough good about them.  They are such a delight to have in our family; Heavenly Father has blessed us more than we deserve with our three girls.  Snow White keeps us on her toes with her spunky humor and her ambition.  She amazes us with her kind spirit and intuition, and her care for others. 

 

Sleeping Beauty can light the room up with her smile.  She never misses a chance for a hug and a kiss and has a quiet, easy way of making one feel important.  She delights us with her dead-pan jokes and her friendly ways, and can color-coordinate with the best of them.  We just adore these girls and are so happy to see them growing into beautiful, kind young ladies. They have a special relationship that is fun to observe and makes you kind of wish you were born with a twin, too. :)
