Happy Birthday Sammy & Lexxy

Other than the burgers not being thawed and dinner starting a little later than planned, the weather getting cold towards the end and it sprinkling a little bit, it was a great day. The girls had a wonderful first birthday. Thank you friends and family for all the wonderful gifts and sharing this special time with us.





























Sammy did get into opening this last one.














The girls helped open a few presents, but were more interested in playing. The loved all the balloons!

























Sammy really had fun with all the cake. She had so much on her hands and was shaking it off so cake was flinging every where!















Lexxy














This picture makes me laugh, it looks like she's ready to get sick...












Here are the girls digging in to their cake!


























We got them the wagon for their birthday. They loved it! Can't wait to take them for rides in it to the park, at the zoo, at Eagle Fun Days, etc.

Their cake turned out so good. Thanks Aunt Velvet for the surprise!

The Birthday Girls!

The girls started out their birthday with pretty bows in their hair, but that didn't last long...

Sammy says, we're going to be 1!

Sweet Sammy girl

Well, on St. Patrick's Day I was home with the girls and the sun was out and it was warm enough to take the girls outside. I put them in the play yard while I did some yard work. They loved it!

Sammy



Well, the girls are each taking steps. Sammy is taking up to 6 at a time and Lexxy has taken 2 at a time!! By their birthday, they will probably be running around! I took a few photos of them out in the yard yesterday. I will try to get those posted this week :) It's hard to keep up lately!

Isn't this the cutest photo? Abbi joined the girls in this cute bathtub scene. How sweet they are!

Sammy is Officially Walking!!

It's official...Sammy took a few steps on Monday and I don't even know if she knew what happened, but then tonight she kept taking two steps at once and now she is trying to do it all the time. Lexxy took one little step, but it won't be long and they'll both be running around! I'm not ready for my babies to be toddlers...How can I slow them down? Just kidding... Each stage is so much fun. I just can't believe how fast the first year has gone by. Two more weeks and they will be 1!

Almost ONE!

These are just a few of our new photos. The girls weren't smiling much, but they sure were cute anyway. Sammy is getting a tooth in and not feeling well...when does the teething stop??!!!! She now has 3 and Lexxy has 4. You can see her little teeth in one of the photos. They will be 1 on the 29th. It's hard to believe a year has gone by already. I'm trying to treasure every moment!


Our girls~ 1 Year
