Happy Birthday Party – Emma and Lucy

This weekend we got to celebrate Emma and Lucy’s 1st Birthday with family and friends. We had such a fun and relaxing party out at the lake. The theme of the party was “Cherry’s” and we tried to go all out. Mary and I found the girls outfits a couple months ago and planned the party around them (if you can’t tell their outfits have little cherry’s on the side of them). We served cherry pie, fresh cherries, Shirley temples, and cherry shaped gummy fruit snacks. The boys cooked yummy hamburgers and hotdogs, and we ate until our hearts content. We had a wonderful cherry cake from Rick’s bakery (the best bakery in NWA). The girls had their own cherry cakes, which they loved and dove right into!!! We got to play in the baby pool, on the slip in slide, in the lake, and on G-daddy boat. We had such a wonderful day.

The girls loved being with each other, their cake, all their friends and family, and all the attention!!! Thanks to all of our family and friends that joined us to celebrate with Emma and Lucy – you all mean so much to us and we are blessed to have you in our lives.

Little girl’s I can’t believe that you are already 1 year old. I love you both very much and look forward to spending many more years together celebrating.

There are lots more pictures to come, but for now I am headed to bed because this weekend wore me out. I don’t know when I will get them posted because on Tuesday Ryan and I head to Washington DC for a nice trip together (alone – without our precious kids). I am so looking forward to some alone time in an exiting place. I digress – Good Night!

Life is a bowl of cherries!

I worked so hard making these little birthday hats for the girls, and then we forgot to put them on the girls.
