Today is Leah and Leila's birthday! I have them all dressed up to go with me to lunch with the ladies at our American club. Tonight we will have dinner with L and D and their kids.
I got them dressed up and realized that Leah has grown out of her cute little pink Mary Janes. Oh well. I guess I'll need to go shopping when I get to the US. :)
Here are two pictures from this morning. I'll add more as the day progresses. Enjoy!
The girls had a good time at lunch. Leah wasn't quite sure about her cake but Leila dug in! If you hold up your finger like you are showing the number one Leah will do it back. This morning I kept saying "You're one today!" and holding up my finger and Leah starting doing it with a big grin on her face. :)

Leila really liked her piece:

That's all for the day. The girls came home and crashed! It was a long, but wonderful day. I'm thankful for such good friends that helped make the day special. I had honestly planned to not do anything and just wait until we got back to the US. I'm glad it worked out this way.
