First Birthday Pictures- A Little Late

We had a photo shoot in our house Saturday. Bob took their first year pictures. Yeah, I know almost 13 month pictures, but whatever. Better late than never. We actually did a photo shoot before their birthday but got a whole lotta nothing. These are pretty decent considering all they want to do is crawl away.

First Birthday Bash!

We had a beautiful day for a backyard BBQ birthday bash. Complete with farm theme. It was held in my parent's backyard.

Here are the guests of honor in their birthday wear. Kaylie has a bow in her hair for the first time. It actually stayed in and she didn't even know it was there. Mommy's newly found hobby--collecting bows for her. I'll be hitting up the mall kiosk again real soon.

We had a tent, balloons, and the event was catered.

For those wondering if they wore their hats---Ryan did with no problem as long as he could eat the ribbon. Kaylie on the other hand was not having any of it. She cried the minute I put her in the high chair. She was too tired at this point.

As for the cake, Ryan fully explored his cake, while Kaylie took it slow and needed to be held by Mommy.

My favorite pics of Ryan & Kaylie from the day

Of course a cake picture.

Overall they had a blast. They didn't want to miss a minute and went from 11-5:30 without a nap! That has never happened before. Ryan finally passed out on Grandma as we were cleaning up everything to go home. Kaylie passed out in the car a minute after we left.

Ry 2 minutes before he passed out A tired Kaylie, but still going.....(anyone picturing the Energizer Bunny here?)

They were spoiled rotten and received lots of presents. It is a big milestone for them and for us. On the way home I started to cry because it finally hit me that they are indeed ONE and have come so far!

Bob also worked hard on making a DVD of most of their pictures and video we took of them. It is awesome and I cry every time I watch it. It's my Steel Magnolias or Beaches movie. Ya know the ones that make you cry every time you watch them? I wish I could share it with all of you. He's a good daddy.

Again, Happy Birthday kiddos!!!
