Without wanting to make it sound like I spent the first year wishing time away (because I certainly didn’t!), I really looked forward to the first birthday party.  I’ve been sitting here staring at the cursor trying to figure out how to explain it, and I am honestly speechless. It was a beautiful day, we had lots of friends come celebrate with us and the babies were (of course) a hit. I spent more time than I like to admit wondering if we’d ever get the chance to do this. We did, and in a word, it was perfect.

Enjoy the plethora of pictures that I think convey the message better than I could 🙂

Happy Birthday to You!

Thank you to all the family and friends who helped and celebrated with us. Our babies are now toddlers and we are off on to another part of this adventure.
