Amanda & Megan's 9th Birthday

Amanda and Megan turned 9! (How is that possible?!) Their birthday was the day after Easter this year. When Ryan was here for Easter, he gave them their present -- a Hannah Montana wig, book and signed picture. (Carson had actually gotten them from Miley Cyrus at her movie premiere. Carson apparently wasn't that impressed, but knew two girls who would be!) Ryan got some major brownie points plus hugs which is a pretty big deal considering he used to get the "you-don't-exist-to-me" treatment when they were little. (That really wasn't Ryan's fault. He just happened to be a man who didn't happen to be Dad or Grandpa.) The Hannah Montana paraphernalia was "the best birthday present ever!"

(Jared knows better than to let me get anywhere near him with a camera when he does something silly like try on a Hannah Montana wig!)

Megan and Amanda had a friend birthday party after school. All the girls came dressed as fairies and had a great time. It was amazing how loud eight little girls can be! They played fairy tag with wands, fairy freeze dance and played with bubbles.

Megan and Amanda wanted a lemon poppy seed cake with sherbet which is both of their favorite. We served it tea party style.
