A weekend of parties!

What a crazy crazy weekend! We had so many events and birthday parties smashed into one weekend. I think the whole family was just plain exhausted! On Friday night we hosted a "Princess & the Frog" movie night with some of our closest friends. It was a lot of fun! The kids did great and made it almost through the entire movie.

Saturday we had a Build A Bear event at Valley Fair and Izzy made a Hello Kitty stuffed animal that she named "Kitty". She loves her and brings her everywhere. Saturday afternoon we had birthday party to go to at our friend's house in San Jose (really close to where we live) and had a blast there. Non stop food and cake!

Sunday morning we had a party at Kidspark by Oakridge and it was so much fun! I think Izzy has to be pooped! I know I am.

Oakland Zoo

We took the girls to the zoo for the very first time on Sunday. Thank goodness we have friends who told us about the half off Oakland Zoo membership that was available. I couldn't wait to redeem it and take the girls. Izzy had such a good time looking at all the animals but her favorite part was probably eating an icee...

I couldn't believe but the rides at the zoo were all too big for her! After I purchased the ticket book too! They wouldn't let me refund the tickets... She won't be 36" tall for a really LONG time! Stupid rules.

Zoey was soooo good at the zoo. She really stayed awake and just watched everything around her. She fell asleep towards the end of the trip but she was a trooper.

Disney on Ice

Last Sunday was a blast! Izzy and her friends went to their first Disney on Ice show at HP Pavilion. I think the moms were more excited than the kids were! We started off at 5pm with dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory and then headed to the show at 6:30pm. We were such amateurs! We thought we would have enough time and we didn't! We were rushing to finish dinner and raced over to the show and literally made it to our seats just in time to catch the opening.

We didn't get a chance to do the whole souvenir shopping so I did it during intermission.... Izzy sitting with her friends... What a night! I think the kids were totally pooped because 10 minutes before the show ended, Izzy pointed at the exit. We booked it! We didn't want to get caught the mass exodus and get stranded in parking. It was such a fun night!

Here is Zoey playing dress up with her chef's hat...

Mademoiselle Isabel in her blue sequin beret... Such a little stylish girl! OMG. Really, do I ever say no? I think I go a little overboard and I already buy her accessories at Forever 21!
