What a Year!

We can hardly believe that the girls are a year old!!!  (December 20th) We had a fun time celebrating with Grammy, Nana, and Pappy.  We had to have a small invite list this year but everyone is saying that two is the new one so next year we'll go all out!  Even though the crowd was thin, we made sure to have special outfits, delicious cupcakes, birthday hats, and decorations!  Believe it or not, the girls even got a few gifts....okay, more than a few but don't look at mommy and daddy.














We also celebrated Christmas a little early when Uncle Sean and Aunt Heidi joined us all yesterday.  And of course, guess who had the most gifts to open.  We are definitely going to adopt the "get one, give one" rule as holidays and birthdays continue! 




On a more serious note, this has been an unforgettable year.  When the girls were born a first birthday seemed so far away.  We've has ups and downs but we are so extremely blessed to have Ava and Reese in our lives.  We hope that others are inspired by their happy spirits and their strong wills.  Thank you to everyone who has ever thought of them, prayed for them, given gifts to them, and most of all sent your love to them.  It will never be forgotten and we can't wait for many more birthdays to come!
