We had a great day full of family fun celebrating the girls' birthday yesterday. Although we've told the girls over and over again in the past year that we weren't going to get them bikes until we move and have a garage, Andy decided that they needed them after all. We decided we could just put up with keeping the bikes inside or in the van for a year. We knew that the girls were going to be so surprised. The evening that we were out birthday shopping, we couldn't figure out what size helmets they needed and had to call and have their sitter measure their heads (their little peanut heads are so small they both ended up needing the smallest size helmet for ages 3+!) Later when we picked them up they kept asking us why we needed their heads measured because they knew that we had been birthday shopping. We joked around about several different possibilities, but eventually stuck with the claim that they were getting wigs for their birthday. After halloween, I just happened to find some long blond wigs 50% off and thought it would be really funny to actually have them open up a wig and think it was their real present. Andy came up with a scavenger hunt for them, I wrapped up the wig and put the envelope with the first clue in the bottom of the box. They were a little confused at first but caught on pretty fast! They were so excited running around from clue to clue. They kept saying, "This is the best birthday hunt ever!" The hunt ended with them opening up the back of the van where their bikes were. They were a little confused at first and thought that they were our neighbors' bikes, but it didn't take too long for them to figure out that they were different and that they had found their real presents!

We did a scavenger hunt for our kids to find their bikes last Christmas too! It is such a fun way of getting them to find them! So fun!
