First Birthday Party

We had the babies' birthday party this past weekend and it was so much fun! We were overwhelmed with the number of family members and friends who came to celebrate with us, and even more overwhelmed by their generosity in the gift-giving department! More on that later, pictures first . . .

Happy Birthday Emily!

Happy Birthday Brenna! Happy Birthday Carter!

We sang the song to each baby individually, and Carter had his own cake too (not pictured), made with love by Daddy.

Getting their first tastes . . .
Don't tell Emily's doctors . . .but she liked it. She started licking her lips and then her hands too. After that, she was awake!Carter really got into his cake, and unfortunately he still had a reaction to eggs baked into it. So, now definitely no more eggs for Mr. Carter!!
Brenna ate about HALF of her cake. Well, a little was on the ground!
Carter tried to give Emily some of his cake!Morgan and Drew

Mama, Papa, and the Three Little Bears (I couldn't pass up these adorable shirts I found on clearance at Gymboree!!!) I love how they are touching each other; Carter's hand on Brenna's leg, and Brenna's hand on Emily's shoulder.

Drew's favorite activity of the day, the double lane slip and slide!

We'd like to thank everyone who came to the party. It was a great day, and I hope everyone had a fun time. I know we did.
The babies got lots of adorable outfits, pajamas, puzzles, books, and a few (thank you!) toys. It only took us about 2 hours to open all of them!!!!! Aren't you glad we waited until after the party to open them?
