Happy Birthday

It is true... Isabelle and Abigail turned ONE!!

I can hardly believe it has been a year already. Unfortunately I was sick from about 5pm on the 18th until the morning of the 20th... Yes it is true, I was NOT the worlds best mom on their actual birth day (April 19th).

Thankfully we were at my parents house and my mom bought the girls sherbet for their birthday dessert. I can't even remember what we fed them for dinner but I know they loved it.

While we were singing to Isabelle her little fingers were reaching out and she pinched off a crumb of the cake and ate it! It was really cute. Abigail wasn't too sure about the whole experience.

Not too sure what to think...

She thought Belle was pretty cool

She SQUEELED in delight to see Rupunzel

Hooded owl towels I had to get when I saw them

The birthday party wasn't until the 21st and thankfully we were all in good health by then. The girls' cousins came and they all seemed to have a blast. The big girls got to paint wooden butterflies while Abigail and Isabelle wondered and DANCED! Yes we sang happy birthday twice and they both got their own cakes. Wouldn't you want that on your birthday?

Motherhood is fantastic. It is hard. It is worth it. There isn't anything else I would rather be doing right now. My girls have taught me so many things and I am so grateful to be learning and growing. Let us see what the next year brings!!

Lucy and Abigail are so cute with each other
