The two girls, who are cousins, went missing Sunday afternoon. They were last seen in the 16100-block of 83rd Ave in Surrey.
The mother of one of the girls went to call them in to eat, and when she could not find them, began to search the complex area and areas that they frequently play in.
That is when police and Search and Rescue were called in.
The girls are now back with their families.
