We had a fun filled day planned to celebrate Alex's 8Th birthday. Daddy took the day off, we picked Nana up, and headed for Tucson.
We took Alex bowling!! We went to Bedroxx. Her birthday was on the 23rd which was a Saturday. We got to the bowling alley at 10 Am. It was the perfect time to bowl. There were very few people there and all the screens had cartoons on for the kids!
Sydney likes to bowl but when there are cartoons on, that's a different story. We had to keep telling Sydney it was her turn to bowl because she was watching cartoons.
Here is Alex getting a strike! Good job Alex!!
Alex was so excited that we got to spend the whole day with dad. I'm sure he was missed a lot at work but we loved having him all to ourselves!
Here were the final scores. Alex is at the very top, I think it was a 72. Sydney beat us all! She wasn't even trying, she was watching cartoons and she still skunked us! Good job Sydney.
Then we went to Taco Bell for a snack before heading to Sierra Vista. Yum!
Alex was pooped! She slept most of the ride home while Sydney read. Nana took a nap in the car too! They needed a nap, the day wasn't over so they needed their rest!
Nana gave Alex a pair of ear muffs and some matching mittens as one of her birthday gifts.
She also gave Sydney some. They wore them the rest of the day when we were in the car. Cracks me up!! They're so funny. I wouldn't let them wear them outside of the car in the 80 degree weather but come wintertime they'll be nice and toasty. Thanks Nana.
Then we went to the mall and let the girls run around and play at the play place. It was packed. They had a lot of fun. We had planned on taking Alex to a movie but she had no interest in the only kid movie playing. So we Skipped the movie. We went to Claire's and bought new earrings instead! In the picture below, the girls are making funny faces in a fun house type mirror. They stayed and laughed at themselves for a long time! We got some good video of them being total dorks! I'm so glad my girls get along so well and like to do so much with each other.
Then it was off to Peter Piper Pizza for dinner. Once again, packed!! We fought the crowds, played games, ate lots of pizza, and in the end had a great time.
When we got home it was time for presents. Alex loved everything she got. Since we didn't make it to a movie it was a good thing she got a movie as a gift. How to train your dragon was an awesome movie! We all loved it!
Then it was time for cake and ice cream. We went with a tiny cake. After the baptism we're having cake and ice cream so she wanted to save her big birthday cake for then!
All in all we had a very exciting, fun day! Next month is Sydney's birthday, can't wait to see what's planned for that!
