They turn 4 and 2.

 These 2 little cuties had their birthdays this week.  Jennifer turned 4 on the 7th and Lily turned 2 on the 9th.  We decided to celebrate them on the same day.  We figured this would probably be the last year we could do a "combined" birthday.  Jennifer might start getting to wise to it next year.  Right now all she cared about was her cake and presents. 
 They are both so excited to open their presents.  Grandpa and Nana came over to celebrate with us.
Last week Zac asked Jennifer what kind of cake she wanted.  She told him she wanted a rainbow cake.  Simple enough.  We thought about making a regular cake and use those frosting gel pens and draw a rainbow on the top.  When we were at Dad's house last Sunday, Jennifer was looking at the Children's Friend.  Inside was a "rainbow cake."  Multiple levels of cake, all a different color.  Jennifer squealed and ran and showed Zac the picture.  "My rainbow cake!"  So Zac was now under pressure to make a multi-level, multi-color cake.  He did a great job. 

Instead of our usual slice of bread (which Zac thinks is weird, but appreciates having no spit on top of the cake) he made the girls their own cupcake to blow out the candles.
 Jennifer knew exactly what to do with blowing out the candles.  It took awhile for Lily to blow out her candles.  She kept on trying to touch the flame.
 
Jennifer loved her presents and wasted no time opening them.
 Lily loves Dora and got some Dora presents.  She loved them.
Jennifer loved the way her cake turned out.  Zac did a really great job.
 Zac found all the kids on the stairs the other day.  Just lounging around.  Eating apples and plums.  Jennifer is always lounging in her underwear.
 Zac and I went out to dinner with some friends the other night.  We got to the restaurant early so I wanted to walk around Tai Pan.  I turned around and Zac was playing with this big glass.  He thought it was hilarious.  He said he wanted to buy it and bring it to a party for his "drinking glass."  Nice.
