The Girls 6th Birthday...a.k.a. Valentine's 2012

Valentines/6th B-day morning the girls were dressed and to the table in a flash! We opened Valentines goodies before school, and we saved the birthday gifts for when daddy got home from work Tuesday evening!

The girls came home from school wearing cute b-day crowns!!! Thanks Mrs. Binford!

Cute Valentine boxes filled with many goodies from their classmates

Spending Emma's and Ella's Birthday Eve at Grapevine Mills

We spent the Monday before the girls' 6th birthday on a girls' trip at Grapevine Mills Mall! The girls and I took the day off school, and loved every second of it!! We visited The Sea Life Aquarium, ate at The RainForest Cafe, and did lots of shopping! We had a great time, and the mall was deserted!

I didn't know what to think about Sea Life before we visited. I was pretty sure it wouldn't measure up to The Dallas World Aquarium, but we LOVED it! We will for sure be going back!!

This exhibit was so cool!! The room was circular, and the fish seemed to be glowing! They were swimming in a school. There was one little fishy out of line, and Ellie was so worried about him! :)

Listening to the lady talk about the Stingrays...very interesting!

Ellie and a funny fish!

Mommy and El

walking on water was a little nerve wracking! ;)

the girls

Ellie was real scared of this guy until I told her he was like Nemo's teacher! :)

We loved the Seahorses! I told the girl that the daddys carried the babies in their pouches! El's response was that it wasn't a good idea to hang upside down when you're pregnant! Ha!!
