Every mom wants to plan a big PARTY for her boy's 1st birthday. You only turn 1 once, right?Our birthday celebrations started on Friday and stopped today. I now know why I might not be committing to a party every year. I am tired, our house is a mess and it is not even Monday yet. Nevertheless, the party (which started as family only and enlarged to 20) was so much fun! At least we will only have to do one birthday party a year!
Our cousin, Savannah, played in our exersaucer during the party. Look how big she is! She is nearly as tall as the boys!!!
SUNDAY LUNCHTIME BRUNCH it was....It is the boy's best time of the day! Here is mommy and the boys posing for a photo. Maybe it was the 40+ eyes on them, but they were not into eating their lunch. Turner held ole faithful....after all, Mr. Balloon is starting to feel like my third child...1 week ole newborn he is! (He flies into the air. Turner grunts and points to the ceiling. I get up and give him back to Turner. Mr. Balloon float away again and gets stuck in the ceiling fan. I rescue him and return him to Turner when the grunts and pointing is too apparent. You get the picture.)
Birthday Boy B: Taylor-1 year old! " We love our baby boy B!!!"
Birthday Boy A: Turner -1 year old "Oh, how handsome is our baby boy A !" Love the bruise above the right eye...he got stuck under the pack n' play trying to get his silver cup. (And yes, Taylor has a right black eye from hitting his eye at school. Twins--double trouble!!! When something happens to one, the other one is doomed!)
" Oh, you can't trick me. I am so done with this hat!"
" Happy 1st birthday T and T!" Mommy and Daddy love you so much!!!
The boy's smash cakes!!! Thank you Publix!!!
At first, there was no interest. We sang "happy birthday" (yes, i was close to tears!) and they both stared at us. I would have stared too if 40+ eyes were on me. Turner was fixated on his sippy cup while Taylor prefered his wheat thin.
Taylor gave it a sample.....Momma trying to coax sweet ole Turner.
Aunt Ellen gave Turner a try while daddy looked on. He opened wide and seemed to like it (at first).
Taylor waves to the camera with his frosted finger. And a special thanks to Uncle Jay who took the photos so mommy could enjoy herself!!!
Daddy and mommy pose with Turner, who is still suspicious of the attention and the cake.
Family Photo: "We'll take it!" As you can see, Taylor loves the cake (No surprise here.) and Turner is checking out his brother thinking, " Man, you still have that freaky hat on and what is all that stuff on your face!"
Taylor still digging in....
Gan helping Turner get his balloon.
" Now this is what I call lunch!"
Mommy and Turner getting a good laugh out of Taylor's face!
Aunt Nikki and Turner loving each other while Taylor gets a bath from daddy! Poor Gan holds his head from a cold....sorry you don't feel well Gan!
John 5 hides to eat his cake or shall I say frosting!!!
Aunt Ellen and Turner
Mommy gets some love from Taylor....loving that he still smells like cake!
Happy birthday, Turn!
Uncle Ray gets some play action with Turn and Mr. Balloon!
Jeff, Aunt Sabrina and the boys--and a special thanks to Mr. Stall (aka Jeff) for saving Mr. balloon from the ceiling fan!!! We love the sidewalk chalk and baby board books. Mommy and daddy say thanks for the "college money".
The Woods (Jay and Nik) loving on T and T!! Thanks ya'll for our ELMO book and puppet, books and the walking/talking dog. That Elmos puppet book is awesome--mommy is getting Uncle Jay one for his birthday!!!
The Brown's...hated that the girls missed the big party! Oh well, we will have to celebrate with them again!!! Thanks so much for the adorable overalls and new toy!!!
The half eaten spread.....french toast (thanks Boo), egg casseroles, fruit salad, coffee cake (thanks Ellen!), spincah salad, appetizers (thanks Carrie) and ham biscuits!!! Oh, and the Moet Chandon mimosas were in the kitchen!!! Only the best for the boy's 1st birthday!!!
We were in the kitchen and heard this tapping on the kitchen wall. Mommy panicked thinking there was a rat in the wall. Thankfully, it was only Guinness' tail, as he and Georgia had escaped from the bedroom and were waiting to be let out!!
Turner: " Thanks for coming to our party, Savannah."Savannah: " Thanks for letting me ride your pony."
Taylor: " You think there is any of that cake left?"
