HAPPY BIRTHDAY TESSA AND NATALIE!!!

Well, we survived the first year and they're still alive (although it was close). We had a little birthday party at the park next door to Jeremy's parent's house on the 14th with family and a few close friends. It was a lot of fun and the girls made out like bandits. In the picture above, they're wearing tutus made by our friend Kristie and they looked adorable. The hats were from their great-grandma Lynette and no, they don't keep them on. Here they are eating a delicious lunch of meat and cheese. They were very happy girls and ate all their food. Here's the cake that we got at Albertson's. Funny story. When I ordered the cake and they saw that it was for a 1st birthday, they offered two individual cakes for the girls at no extra cost so I said sure. Well, when I picked them up on the morning of their birthday, there was the sheet cake above as well as 2 eight inch rounds, one for each girl. I was thinking they would get little mini cakes, so I was surprised. In the next picture, they each got a quarter of one of the individual cakes and look how much that is. Needless to say, we had plenty of leftover cake.

This past year has just gone by so fast and I'm so grateful to be the mother of two beautiful, healthy (duh) girls. I can't imagine our lives without them and I'm so excited to see what this next year holds in store for us.
