Addison's 1st and Sophia's 3rd Birthday Party

Sophia and Addison have birthday's less than 2 weeks apart so we felt like it made sense to have a joint birthday party...especially since all of our family has to drive in from out of town.  So this year we celebrated Addison's big FIRST birthday and Sophia's THIRD birthday!  My girls are growing up so fast!!

We all had a great time at the party!  It was at our house and all of the girls' family and friends were able to come which made it so special!  Everyone played, ate lunch, and then went outside for the "zoo crew" presentation!  We got to pick 8 different animals to come and our presenter talked about them and let the kids touch them if they wanted to.  Sophia LOVED touching the animals!  Then we went inside and sang Happy Birthday to the girls and had cupcakes and ice cream...yum!

This baby had to miss her nap and was a bit tired.

It was a nice day but warmer than I would have liked because of the sun...definitely did not feel like Fall!

Russian Tortoise!

Friends :)

Our cousins (minus Jules)!!

My girls :)

Having fun with the parakeet!

Singing Happy Birthday to Sophia!  This is the first year she blew out her candles.

Singing Happy Birthday to Addison!  Her face is a little shocked.

I'm holding her hands so she won't grab the candles :)

She tasted the cake but then quickly started crying...too many people staring at her!

We had birthday cupcakes the day after the party and the girls wore their party hats again!

I got real smiles this time!

Addison happily wore her hat and tried her cupcake too!

And I think she liked it :)

Jeramy and I are so thankful to our family and friends for helping us celebrate our sweet girls on their birthdays.  Having all of you all here made the day/weekend so much more special and I know the girls feel the same way!  They got super spoiled with new clothes and toys and are having so much fun with their new stuff.  Until next year!
