Happy Happy Birthday!

Can you believe it? The twins are 3! This year, they were old enough to help with some of the planning. They chose to have a dinosaur/princess party with pink and blue decorations. They picked out the frosting for their cupcakes and the decorations for the room. They even helped mail the invitations. Then, for the entire week before the party all they could talk about was the party and who would be there. They woke up several mornings saying "Happy Birthday to me?" wondering if this was the big day they had been waiting for.

I wish I had a better picture of the cupcakes. It's not that I am some artist with icing, but I was so proud of how they turned out with such little effort on my part! For Bridger's cupcakes, I used store bought icing and royal blue food coloring. Then, I piped the frosting on, added some dinosaur sprinkles, and topped each one with a toy dinosaur! For Livy's cupcakes, I found pink strawberry flavored icing at the store. I used a star tip to pipe on the frosting, used some pearly sprinkles, and topped each one with a paper princess crown (that was attached to a toothpick).

The kids practiced for a whole week to hold up 3 fingers. They had it mastered by the party.

Every toy was princess, dragon, or dinosaur. They LOVED everything!

This is one of Bridger's favorite presents and I love humiliating Travis, so here's a picture of him as the model!

I can't believe that it's been three years! This is the first birthday that they've had that has made me sad. They really are leaving the baby stage :o(

Thank you to everyone that was able to come. It means a great deal to our little family to feel of your support and love.
