Katherine and Andrew turned nine this year. They decided on having sleepovers to celebrate. We decided to do them back to back and knock them out in one weekend. It was exhausting, but everyone had a great time.
Katherine had her party on Friday night.
They girls were high energy and high volume. They made slime, got their nails painted, watched The Greatest Showman (twice), giggled a lot, and ate quesadillas, nachos, and danish waffles. They went to bed late, if at all.
Andrew’s party was Saturday.
The boys were much lower maintenance. They played video games, had pillow fights, played on their iPads, watched Infinity Wars, and ate pizza and pancakes. They also slept pretty well, but were up super early.
Some lucky nine year olds, opening their birthday packages from all their Grandparents. 
Katherine’s friends took her out to a big girl dinner to celebrate her birthday. They got ready together and even borrowed each others clothes. She loved it. 
Happy Birthday to Andy. He got his favorite- cupcakes made of yellow cake mix with chocolate frosting. (My lovely American embassy friend got them from America for me.) 
Andy and I celebrated at one of our favorite restaurants, Retour.
