The Party!

We had a lot of fun at Parker & Presley's 2nd Birthday! We are thankful to have wonderful family and friends to join us in celebrating our babes! Here's a look at some of the fun! *this may be the longest blog post in history :)

 Didn't the lady do a fantastic job on the cake?! I LOVED it!!

 I picked up these cupcakes the day before the party at the Wal Mart bakery- they were very good!

 I fell in love with all of the red, white, and turquoise

 My Mom made the red and white stripe curtains for me!

 It took me a lot of hot glue to glue on all of these balloons! :)

 Party favors

 I will never buy this many sweets again without sending EVERYONE home with some! :) Yikes...I've eaten wayyy to many sweets since the party ;)

 Great Granny and Presley

 Parker & Presley had SOO much fun!!

 Great Granny

 These two girls were having a BLAST- Pres and Aubree

 Notice the red cheeks? They played hard

 Opening gifts was pretty crazy but Parker & Presley truly LOVE every single toy, book, and outfit they received! They may not have noticed every detail while opening but the next day they sure did! Our family and friends know their taste so well! :) Thank you all! Thank you cards are coming soon!

 Great Grandmom made a slide show of pictures for year 1-2 and it was wonderful!

 They love the Rock Elmo from Uncle Kyle and Aunt J

 Great Memaw

 Great Grandmom & wiggly Parker

We had the best time celebrating two wonderful years with Parker & Presley! Thank you all! Those of you I missed in the photo booth- I'll catch you soon! Especially you Mom & Dad- I didn't get Nana & Papa in the photo booth but will soon when they return from sunny Hawaii!



The Day!

Parker & Presley's birthday was on a Saturday this year which was perfect since Daddy would be home with us! The day ended up being rainy and cold but we still had a lot of fun!

They woke up to their new birthday toys! They LOVE the kitchen and also love playing with the work bench :)





Presley's favorite were the play donuts, she carried them everywhere with her! Here she is organizing them in her chair ;)



Special treat- breakfast donuts! :)

We then headed to the mall and aquarium for some fun before the rain hit

Sadly, everyone else in DFW decided it would be a great day to visit the aquarium so we ended up doing some of the other fun things in the mall and made a stop at the aquarium on our way out.

They LOVE this little train in the mall!

Eric and Daddy in the aquarium!

Inside the aquarium :)

We came home and had their bday cupcakes and sang to them!

 Presley was convinced we were going to sing happy birthday and then take the cupcakes away- she wanted it NOW ;)

Blowing out the candles!

Attempting to get a picture in the birthday hat---she's pointing to the cupcakes :)

Eating their pretend food :) Nana bought them this cute white table for their bday! I asked her to bring it over about a week before their bday because I couldn't wait to see them enjoy it. 

One of my favorite pictures of Presley! I think one reason I love it so much is because for the first time she actually listened to me for a pose ;) I tilted my head to the side and smiled and she tilted her head! I didn't catch a smile but she was pretty tired from all the bday fun 

Cooking away in her apron 

Still playing in the kitchen before bedtime. I love these superman and supergirl pjs!

It was a wonderful day celebrating two wonderful years with these sweet babes!

Up next I will post about celebrating with our family and friends! The Circus Birthday!

Celebrate!

We had a lot of fun celebrating P & P turning TWO today!! So much to update! Coming soon..

It's coming..

This Saturday Parker & Presley will be TWO! Can you believe it? Two sounds so big. :) They have one foot in big kid world and one foot in baby world- which I love both sides! I have enjoyed every minute being their Momma and having them in my life, every.minute. I was going through the pictures on my computer the other day searching for one and of course it got me reminiscing...

about the first time I saw you..

the first time I held you (Presley left, Parker right)

carefully watching you

 

 your tiny little hands. This is Daddy and Presley (and the nurses hand-the blue glove)

 seeing you in your Daddy's arms

 the first time we saw you without your CPap about a week after you both were born. It was like seeing you for the first time, being able to really see your faces! Adorable

 Presley and Daddy. Daddy making sure your Cpap is on correctly

 The very first time I held you BOTH- heaven. Having twins can be hard. That wonderful feeling of holding one while missing the other. Both in my arms= happy heart.

 The day you BOTH CAME HOME for good!

And seeing how wonderful you are today. I love you TWO at TWO

I look forward to celebrating March 10th! :)
