The girls have their 1st birthday!

A long awaited milestone!! The girls had their 1st birthday on Friday the 6th of Feb. It was a fun day. We started with a good breakfast and fun new bibs.Then we got dressed in our new cute jeans and drove up to St.Marys to take some pictures of the girls at the beautiful waterfront park. They were a little grumpy when we first got there, but I think I got some cute pictures.


Then we went to WalMart to get cake mix so I could make a birthday cake with a little dash of mom love. Once we got back to the house, I started making this lovely creation. (I will get better, I had to hurry.) I made a regular cake for the family to eat, and a single layer for the girls.


Then began the messy fun. We sang "Happy Birthday" and gave each of the girls a piece of the cake with their initial on it with a 1 candle in it. They had a little help blowing out the candles. Then we let them go for it. Hannah was very lady like at first, gently taking the frosting off. Alyssa got into the cake part faster and made the big mess on the floor. She loves to put her finger in her mouth and lick it off. It was so cute.












Then after a quick bath and clean up we opened some presents. They love looking in the bags and taking things out.


It was a great day and we are so happy to have these girls in our lives. They bring us joy everyday. We are looking forward to many more years of fun filled birthdays.
