Happy Birthday to Sparkle and Brandy ...

Maddie and Taylor are so stinkin cute... I think I have two of the most creative, cute, fun girls I could ever ask for. I was upstairs on the computer tonight trying to get my I-pod loaded with songs for our trip, when Madison came in to where I was, and handed me an envelope that just said 'MOM' on the outside of it. She said, "Open this, but wait until I go in the other room". So, ok... I kept working on my I-pod and forgot about the envelope for a minute. She came back in the room about 10 minutes later, and asked me if I had opened it yet. Horrible me, I had forgotten about it -- so again, she told me to open it when she went out. I then opened the envelope and there was a barbie invitation, and here is what it said...

Now, you have to realize that Sparkle and Brandy are two of their precious little children. Between Maddie and Taylor, they have about 15 or 20 Webkinz stuffed animals, and these two happen to have birthdays this month. Now, anyone who has children who have Webkinz know that they know each of their names, their birthdays, the things they like and dislike, what they like to eat, etc. etc... Taylor and her friends periodically let their Webkinz spend the night with each other. A few times, Taylor has come home with 3 or 4 new ones, just for the night. And 3 or 4 of her most precious kids has gone to spend the night at one of her friend's houses. Before the exchange, they make sure they have given detailed instructions to each other on how they like to sleep, covers over their heads or not, if they like the lights on, if they have a certain story they like read to them, or a certain bedtime song sung to them.

Considering how well they take care of their Webkinz, it didn't surprise me that they would plan something like this for their special day. I knocked on their door to have Taylor open the door, and there was a banner strung from the door to the wall. They had a little ribbon cutting ceremony before I entered. I walked in the room to find barbie cups on the little table in the corner, with crackers, and Sparkle and Brandy sitting on the table. There were little gifts for Sparkle and Brandy in barbie gift bags neatly lined up on the floor. They had a few little games planned --- and a raffle drawing to win prizes.

I have to say, it was quite cute. I hope my little girls don't grow up to quickly. I want to keep them just as they are!

I wonder who's birthday is next month.... Stay tuned!
