evie and june turned 1

did you know that back in august the twins turned....one? can you believe it? i mean, we've kept them alive and happy and thriving for a year. and what a year it has been. what a wonderful, sleep deprived year. 

and what do you do when you have twins and they turn one??? well, you throw them a thing one and thing two party, for sure!!!!

disclaimer......i know, these guys will not remember any of this. this party was totally for me. and you want to know something, nolan and i deserved the party more than evie and june. we worked hard this year. it was not easy. it was not always fun. but you know what, it sure was rewarding!!!

all the decorations were done in red, teal, white and black....just like the cat in the hat book!

my friend katie made the cup cakes and cake pops for me. they were so cute and yummy!!!

i was able to use my basic sewing skills and make most of the decorations myself.

they birthday girls! what little devils!

it's time to start trying that cake!

evie, you've got a little frosting on your face!

june and her 5 o'clock cake shadow!

time to open some gifts!

who's one?

and since there were still more photos that needed to be displayed, i made this!

ben and samantha came to the party!

so did carol!

and uncle alan, aunt mindy, rylee, rachel, mamaw and papaw.

the clark family came too, but it was too hard to get a decent photo with our 2 toddlers and their toddler. someday we can take a photo together!

family shot! since evie and june were thing 1 and thing 2, georgia got to be the cat in the hat.

a good time was had by all! 

and so, while we have been going on less sleep for most of this year, it has been a joy. these little girls bring a smile to our faces every day. we are glad that we get to watch them grow into fabulous young women. i feel so special that i get to be their mama!
