My brother was also visiting while we held the party. Thank you Evan, for taking the time out of your busy summer (the last before starting college!) to come from Utah to visit us and play with my kiddos. I am so happy you were a part of this memory!
We sang:
We ate cake:
Ezra devoured his entirely:
Hazel had no clue what to do with hers:
Lincoln was willing to help her out, of course:
And to sing at the top of his lungs for the camera:
After opening the many wonderful gifts, we packed up and headed down to the pool. The twins had so much fun! Thank you to all our friends who came to celebrate with us.
That was so cute. It totally made me teary eyed. I feel like the first birthday is so bittersweet; your babies aren't babies anymore but they are entering an awesome new stage of life. I'm so glad that you guys are so happy in your newest stage of life (and place).
ReplyDeleteThank you Dagny! Before you, I never really made an effort to befriend a neighbor. Now, I realize how huge an impact it can make. I love knowing that buddies are only a few doors away! Thank you for helping me realize this. And yes, the first birthday is a rite of passage for sure. The end of an era, and the beginning of another. They'll never lie motionless and gurgling in my arms again, but that only means that when they're on my lap, it's because they're choosing to be, which is so endearing, you know?
