We celebrated the occasion with a Thing One and Thing Two themed birthday party! My friend Katie passed on all the party decor and supplies from her twin girls' first birthday party (and from our fantastic Baby Shower last year) which made the planning and party preparation SO much easier than it otherwise would have been...thank you so, so much Katie!! :) Due to space constraints and having lots of family in town, we decided to have a family-only party this year, and ended up having 21 party goers and 2 very excited guests of honor.
Here are a few pics of the birthday fun...
Harper and Riley really enjoyed opening all of their presents...we have some very loved little girls!!
The girls also really liked their smash cakes, although very little cake actually ended up in their mouths.
Not entirely sure what to do with them at first...
But then they started digging in...
Soon, Riley AND her cake became a gigantic mess.While Harper preferred to delicately pick away at one small section of hers...
Two very different cake eating styles....
Happy FIRST Birthday sweet baby girls...we love you so, so much!! :)
Yeah, yeah for your return to blogging! I'm so glad you were able to reuse many of the Thing 1 & 2 birthday decor. The girls are beautiful, just like their mama!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I LOVE the O-N-E picture at the top of this post! Was that professional or did you do it on your own?
ReplyDeleteThank you Katie!! :) We did end up using almost all of the b-day decor...I didn't post the pics of the decorations, but they looked great! Thanks again! (P.S. The girls are wearing long sleeve t-shirts and jeggings under the dresses because it was like 30 degrees outside.)
ReplyDeleteWe did take the O-N-E pictures on our own...not an easy task! :)
