Happy 1st Birthday, Kayla & TJ!

Wow...a whole year, just like that. My little babies are no longer little babies. This was, all at once, the most challenging and most rewarding year of my life. In celebration, we had a "little" family party at Grandma & Grandpa's house. We also had a little mini celebration at home on their actual birthday. All parties were fun, and well deserved. These babies put in a lot of hard work this year, and they have overcome so many challenges.

For the mini-party at home, Mommy & Daddy, Auntie Jess, Uncle Jason, Penny, Grandpa & Grandpa Dave were all there to celebrate. The babies had their first taste of cake that day. It was just a little bit though, as we wanted their first real "piece" of cake to be at their party (and of course...to be Mother Mousse cake, anyway!).



Ooooooh! Presents!



Penny enjoyed her cake too...


but not as much as the Twins!




Fun after cake & presents...(sorry, but TJ had WAY too much chocolate on his clothes to be crawling around my living room...so he had to go naked!)



And then the BIG party...

All pretty in our party clothes:


Finally! It seems around here that most of Kayla & TJ's friends are girls. He was SO excited to finally have another boy to play with. Thanks, Christian!


Cake Time!
