Look behind everyone for animals -- here's a rhino.....
Hard to tell, but those are flamingo's behind Rena.....
There are all sorts of animals out there roaming behind Cameron & Maleah.....
Obviously.....giraffe..... :)
Just ducks here.....
On the way out we had to sit in an egg (just because we could!)...... :)
.....and then moved into the living room to watch Alvin and The Chipmunks, The Squeakquel. We transformed the living room into a movie theatre with the big screen, popcorn and drinks.....
We paused the movie for a bit and had some cake and ice-cream.....
.....and opened some presents.....
The girls had a great time with "Rena's Dad" during the party. They wanted him to sing and dance like the chipmunks, but they settled for dressing him up with bows and ribbon.....
Rena had a great party, despite the fact that she spent the whole time in pain with a fat lip. The poor girl crashed on her new bike in the driveway about 10 minutes before her guests were scheduled to arrive. She had to skip the pizza, but suffered through the popcorn and, of course, was able to eat the ice cream! 
Here she is getting her new bike -- Jeff told her to go outside and grab the newspaper off the driveway and when she got out there she found her new bike. Unfortunately she stubbed her toe on the way out and was a little distracted when she finally made it to the driveway, but when she realized that the bike was hers and she recovered pretty quickly.....
Dinner time -- Rena picked the menu of hamburgers, fries and jello .....
Time for presents and WOW did she get a lot of nice things -- this one is from Grandma Gail and Grandpa Jim -- a doll that looks like her......
Everyone knows what Rena likes -- more baby doll stuff from The McCullough's -- another baby doll, bag and stroller......
AND from Grandpa Steve and Grandma Bonnie a new outfit.....
Now we are preparing for one more celebration on Saturday -- movie night with 10 first grade girls.....YIKES!! 
Stay tuned for more festivities tonight (and this weekend!).....
After the movie we headed home for cake and ice-cream......and some leftover movie theatre popcorn! :)
Maleah actually didn't have a pee-wee pillow pet first thing in the morning -- (long story, but here goes)..... I went to Target to get them on Sunday night and, of course, (because I waited until Sunday), they only had 2 left. I went to two Targets and Jeff went to one and there were no more pee-wee's to be bought in the city of Carlsbad. Soooooo, on Monday morning when they were opening their goody bags I told Maleah that I would take her to the mall later in the day so that she could pick out the pillow pet that she wanted. Luckily, the stand at the mall was open and they did have pee-wee's to choose from. She ended up with this cute little lady bug and was very happy at the end of the day. (I also loaded her bag in the morning with a few extra goodies to make up for her not having the pillow-pet to open!) Here are Maleah and Rena with their pillow pet pee-wee's at the mall.....
"TAG" is the game we always end up playing while at the beach.....
Here I was "IT" and they all thought they were so funny because they knew I wouldn't come out into the water to get them. And, they were right -- it was a nice day, but that water was still cold!!!! I figured they had to come in eventually.....
The kids are still getting use out of their snow shovels.....
Monday afternoon arrived quickly and we all headed to the airport. The girls were big helpers with the suitcases.....
