We had a small, yet super special, birthday party for the girls today! Nana and BopBop, Laurie and Cooper, Nana Susan and Anthony and our adopted member of the family, Elizabeth were all here to help the girls celebrate turning 1! I don't know how in the world people do big birthday parties for little kids. It just about killed us trying to get ready for today and I'll be totally honest when I say Whole Foods prepared most of the food and I ordered cupcakes. I barely did anything and yet I felt like I've been hit by a truck. And we had about 10 people here total. I'm a wimp, I guess!
The girls were spoiled rotten of course and got so many amazing gifts. They got some beautiful outfits, furniture for their dollhouse, books and their first American Girl Bitty Baby dolls! Nana and BopBop went to the Masters this week too and brought the girls some adorable outfits that they'll be sure to wear on Master's Sunday (don't worry...I'll post the pics!). They got lots of great stuff and we are so thankful to everyone who sent cards and gifts as well. They even got some flowers delivered from Aunt Conni and Uncle Ron! We definitely felt the love today!
I had envisioned that the girls would be covered in frosting head to toe and that I'd have to leave the party early to give them baths. Total bust!!!!! They barely even licked the frosting (on the most ridiculously sized cupcakes you've ever seen) and if it weren't for sweet Cooper helping to feed the girls, I'm not even sure they would have tried it! A huge thank you to our Uncle Matt in Seattle who helped us make the hilarious cupcake toppers. One of my favorite parts of the party! The girls loved, loved, loved the balloons, and I'm hoping they'll stay inflated for awhile because they're good for at least 20 minutes of entertainment! The girls looked adorable in their birthday outfits from Aunt Laurie and their special bibs from Nana!
It was a wonderful day and just amazing to watch our two 1 year old little ladies enjoy themselves at their first party. I wonder what their second birthday will be like?!?! Thank GOD I don't have to worry about that for 364 more days!
Happy Birthday sweet babies! I love you!
