The Twin's 1st Birthday PARTY


We celebrated the twin's birthday on New Year's Day, while we were visiting my hometown for the Holidays.  This was our first time spending Christmas with my family in SEVEN years!  You know how it works with the military, so this was a real treat to be able to spend this very special time with our family.

Being surrounded by family and friends was wonderful.  So often we spend special occasions on our own that this moment was extra special.  I loved that the babies were FINALLY able to meet their family and were showered with so much love.  

I grew up with a large extended family with lots of grandparents, uncles & aunts and cousins galore to help celebrate.  Seeing my children playing with their cousins was bittersweet.  I LOVED that they were getting to spend time with them, but it was sad knowing we would be leaving soon and they will miss out on so much time with their family.  My children are growing up very different than I.  Thankfully, at this young age they do not seem to realize what they are missing!


Happy Birthday Finnian & Remington!
We love you so much!
