Sophie and CJ turned 1 year old on April 1st....hard to believe how quickly time passes! My camera broke some time ago, but I made a special trip to Best Buy just for this occasion....couldn't let this important day go by without lots and lots of pictures to share with our friends and family!
I offer to you, a day in the life of my April Fools....good morning punks! Time for breakfast!
...and just like that, it's time for a nap. These kids are regimented!
..but after their nap they were all sorts of excited to get dressed up for their formal 1 yr photo session. Clean clothes, check! Combed hair, check! Let's go!
...they are just about grown out of their carriers now....over 20 lbs each! Official measurements coming next week after their checkup.
We made an appointment at the Spotsylvania Mall to see 'The Picture People'....
They got us in and out in grat time and captured some really timeless pictures....I'll share those in a separate post....stay tuned!
Then, it was back to the house where cake and gifts were waiting...
Note the dolphins and whale in the background. When Randi turned 1, she got a princess on a horse. These interesting doohicky's balance on a thin base with a counterweight that hangs below them....in honor of the tradition, we got Sophie and CJ something similar....something they can keep for many years to come and possibly even pass down to their punks in 100 yrs or so.....
Katie and Tyler were able to join us for the occasion, which was a real treat! Randi, Sophie, and CJ ADORE their big brother and sister!
CJ made no hesitation when his cake was placed in front of him....he dug right in!
Sophie, on the other hand, was much more proper about it all...."just look at my kid brother over there making such a mess....ugh"
But she did finally give in to temptation and tested the creamy yumminess...
...and they even shared a little....awwwwwwwww
...and then it all came to an abrupt end.....enough was enough.....there is such thing as too much of a good thing after all....
So, we moved onto presents! Nothing big...a farm house with animals from Katie and Tyler...
Seahorses that light up and play songs for bed time from Gma Kathy...
...and they actually enjoyed the cards too.....they'll grow out of that, I'm sure!
Mommy and Dady got them talking balls and soft stackable blocks....
...and then it was PLAY TIME! Yeah!
A day to remember at the end of a year to remember....I love my punks!
Stay tuned for their 'studio' shots in the next day or two....in addition to that, I got some great video of our little party too....will work on getting that uploaded before the end of the week....
Happy Families!
