We did it !!! We all got to through the first year. YIPEEE
We had a lovely party today - cake and coffee and pin the tail on the donkey. DH took so many photo's which I will try and find and post (there is one at the end of the post...look down... there you go).
We had a Dr Seuss theme which everyone loved - lots of funky food etc. As you can see the kids wore Thing 1 & 2 t-shirts, which looked so cute.
There were no melt downs or accidents even with my friends kids. It was a great mix of little kids, middle sized and big kids. We even had the UK contingent via Sk.ype (crazy SIL wanted me to break away from the kids party to concentrate on them!). Great experience and wonderful memories. Who could ask for more?
It was so much fun blowing up balloons, the streamers and the paper plates. Man, having kids means you get to do all this cool kid stuff! Right now, the kids are wired on cake (they only got a tiny bit but sugar is sugar) and so DH is trying to zen them into submission! Both DH and I are introverts (sorry kids) so after the party DH went to bed and slept for 3 hours!! I cuddled with Mimi while Pip passed out.
Oh, and the kids had real cow's milk at diner time - they both loved it. Wow. We are moving on!!
Thank you all for your support and friendship through this first year. It has made the world of difference.

P.S. I see that you have the "cage" I have for my twins. I love it!

Happy birthday to you all! I can't believe how big and chubby and ZEN they look! I agree with you, playing with the balloons and kid stuff is fun. Great job, EB! You've done a fabulous job with your beautiful children.
