On Sunday, we held a small gathering at our house for the babies' birthday. Being at the height of the summer holiday season, some people were away and couldn't make it, but those who did come to celebrate with us made the day a special one for all involved. We can't tell you how much we appreciated those of you who came to watch the babies open their gifts and to watch them smoosh cake all over their little faces. It meant a great deal to us, given the length of time it took to bring these little lives into existence. It wasn't just any ol' birthday, that's for certain.
The Birthday Girl and Boy make their debut! How proud of themselves are they?
SO cute in his little outfit.
I named this picture "BC": Before Cake.
We decided to get the babies each their own cake. I was SO VERY glad we did. They wasted no time digging in, that's for sure!
Amazingly, only a tiny bit of his while shirt got messy.
So lady-like.
We almost threw away that sippy cup. It was disgusting and caked with...well...cake.
Seeing the joy in their faces as they opened up gifts specifically for each of them...priceless.
I LOVE IT..
ReplyDeleteThe photos are priceless..
Sounds like a wonderful day.
Hugz...

What a great party! You did a wonderful job of focusing on their individuality, always a challenge with a joint party for twins.
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting to see these pics and they definitely didn't disappoint. Such cuteness and happiness and the cake pics....oh my! Adorable, adorable, adorable.
ReplyDeleteexcellent first cake pictures!! I love how they dug right in.
ReplyDeleteDoes that book actually have a picture of Chick right in it? It looks like it!
ReplyDeleteLove the cake pics. Too funny. When Sarah turned one, I was a....ahem..."good" mom and made her a sugarless cake. She had had NO sugar at all. Then I had more kids and it was allllll downhill from there. I loosened up and had fun. :-)
We had the very best time celebration this momentous day with your cuties! Fun, fun, fun!!
ReplyDeleteHappy, Happy Birthday Chick and Pea!!
