While Mom was down in Florida for Aunt Amy and Uncle Karl's baby "sprinkle," Dad and the girls rode up to New Jersey to see Bebe, Popi and the girls' cousins.
Before the party started, Bebe opened up her homemade Mother's Day gift.
It's a ceramic frame painted and decorated by Evie with a picture of the two girls in their Easter bonnets.
The party began at Jenkinson's Amusement Park in Point Pleasant. The cousins first started on a little train trip around the rides. Evie and Ellie (and Molly and Julianna behind them) are scouting out where to go next.
After jumping on the flying elephants (or the Dumbo ride as Evie called it), it was time to hop on the swings. Evie was trying to give Dad a low five while Ellie was simply holding on.
Next up was the boat ride -- you need a steady hand to steer and Captain Ellie was at her finest. Evie made her presence known by clanging the bell.
Finally... the Spinning Dragon. Julianna, Stan, Molly, Evie and Ellie enjoyed the Spinning Dragon as long as Uncle Dave wasn't spinning it!
Back at Bebe and Popi's house, it was time for cupcakes, candles and crooning! Happy birthday to Stan, Julianna and Ellie -- all born within a week of each other (though not same year). Stan is patiently waiting for the song to end so he can blow out the candle...
...and eat his cupcake!
Bryn also loved her cupcake with a beautiful icing mustache. Once Bryn showed off her talent, it was only a matter of time before others joined her mustache prowess.
Molly's mustache seems to have a German influence.
Evie seems to be less mustache and simply a dirty face.
After cupcakes it was time to open gifts. Ellie received a new favorite book, Don't Push the Button as well as a Repunzel wig (among other generous gifts!), which she now wears nearly every day -- including to bed! What a birthday celebration for everyone!
