Happy 2nd Birthday to Carter, Brenna, and Emily!!!

I realize that everyone says this, but how did this happen?? 2 YEARS have gone by since the day I gave birth to these three amazing babies. We welcomed them into the world at 8:44, 8:45, and 8:46 pm on Saturday, August 18, 2007. It's a day we'll never forget. Drew officially became a big brother, and we became the proud parents of four. :)

Now they are 2!

When we came home from Maine, we had a party in their honor with the Gollihur side of the family.

Sweet little cupcake, Emily

Fun with tissue paper and a picnic table ;)

Brothers coloring - awwww!

"Bday" girl Brenna

(who loved the balloon so much that she ran back and forth at least 20 times saying

"Mommy, buh-fly, bayoon, WOW!")

Happy 2nd Birthday to Brenna, Emily, and Carter!!!

The babies' actual birthday was one of the days we were in Maine, so, of course, we had to celebrate! We researched ice cream cakes, since Carter is allergic to egg whites and found a Friendly's (or was it Carvel?) cake that was safe. Hooray! We all enoyed it and even Emily had a teeny tiny taste (but don't tell her docs - ice cream cake is definitely NOT on the ketogenic diet approved list)

(Again, Blogger is being a pain! I tried to switch these next two pics, but I couldn't!)

They were kissing Emily first while waiting for cake . . .

and then . . .

Here are the best shots from the annual front porch photo shoot.

**Posts will now have no more than 5 pictures - Blogger is such a pain!**

We spent a lot of time swimming at Meme and Pepe's. Did I mention it was hot? ;)
Drew loved showing off his new swimming skills in the big pool and the little ones loved splashing around in the baby pool and being sprayed by Pepe too!

Meme and Pepe gave the babies their Birthday presents, a pink school bus for Brenna, a Little People car wash set for Carter, and a piano for Em, plus oodles of new clothes!!!

I think she likes it!

Drew is still the only one big enough to do sparklers!



Stay tuned for Part 3 . . . . .
