Ready to PAR-TAY!

What fun 1st birthday parties we had! The babies' birthday weekend was so incredibly special full of family and the most wonderful friends ever. We had a fun Friday night with everyone including The Dillon's and Aunt Cheryl to name a few...

It seems like they're possibly scheming something...
Yep--Scheming a way to not sit in a chair. That would be Cole of course, he's professional at that. Cole, please don't tempt Ben with your naughty ways...
That's right, listen to Ben--it's a good thing to sit properly in a chair. Too bad he didn't retain that proper behavoir. His favorite way to be in the chair Mimi got him is by standing in it. I guess easier to dance to the "hot dog dance" on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse that way?
Party Day!

With Aunt Cary
Ready to dig into his yummy Mickey cupcake

He doesn't disappoint with the classic, messy, eating of his first birthday cake
Cam needed some coaxing
She quickly discovered the goodness of her Minnie cupcake


Fun times in the pool. I think Mario actually had the most fun during pool time, as usual. Imagine if Tiger had been there too? It would've been labradoodle madness, for sure.

Tom and Cole--Total best buds. It's uncanny the love they have for each other. There is just complete relaxation and happiness with Cole whenever he is around his Uncle Tom!
Cole rocking his cousin Josie. Matt's family came in Friday night and Angela and her kiddos came too!
Having a fun time at the party
Present Time! Jackson is all about helping!...
Cole got so excited for his Mickey Mouse cards. This is his "Mickey face". We think that whenever we go to Disney World, Cole's mind will literally be blown because he loves Mickey so much. This is his face every time he sees Mickey to this day!
Thanks Shannon for these adorable winter hats, no doubt we'll need them
Thank you James & Amanda for this fun birthday cake. We "blow out the candles" and play with it every day somehow!
One of Cam's favorite gifts from her Aunt Angela--her pink tutu! Here is the grand opening of it...
And let the modeling begin! What a total ham she was here. She knew she looked good in this and boy did she work it for the cameras. We were all to busy taking it all in to get the perfect diva picture, but she eats up this moment even more if you can believe it. Here's the best of the pics we could get of her first modeling moment...

Fun present opening. They got SO MANY wonderful, great, sweet gifts. It is so special thinking about how loved the are.

Opening our wonderful dolls from Aunt Paula. Camryn sleeps with her baby doll (she sleeps with two now!) and Cole sleeps with his puppy dog (along with his Mickey doll, of course) every night!
...must be another Mickey card...






Another tutu moment
They had their next birthday party with Mimi the next day! Here is the first of annual pictures the babies are now obligated to take with their Aunts Nora and Cheryl. Seriously, they'll have prom pictures all together like this if Nora and Cheryl have anything to say about it!
Jackson and Truitt
Cam with Uncle Robby, one of her most favorite people ever
Party at Mimi's...




Party hats on and everything. Ready for more cake!!


Cole very properly dug into his first birthday cake!
Same with Cam! Needless to say, Mimi's bathtub was totally covered with cake and icing once we were done with it.
We can't express our love and thanks to all our family and friends enough for such a memorable 1st birthday weekend. It was so special and we're so fortunate to always have such fond memories to look back on. Thank you everyone for loving our babies so much!!
