Trip's First Birthday

A few weeks ago, we celebrated Trip's first birthday with a low key family get together.

Trip got her own smash cake:

While Tigger and Tilly helped me decorate the big cake for everyone else.

So pretty!

We had hamburgers and fries - the same meal Papa TT and I had on our way to the hospital to deliver Trip.

Our beautiful birthday girl!

The whole family was there to celebrate - Meema, Uncle Michael, Aunt Lorelei and the cousins. G-Ma T, G-Pa T, Aunt Meghan, Uncle Todd and the kids' newest cousins joined via Facetime!

I guess she enjoyed it! And I guess Tigger wanted what was left!

Happy Birthday beautiful girl!! I can't believe it's been a year!

Tilly is 3!!

We just celebrated Tilly's third birthday and we had a blast! We went to a local park and invited her family and friends, including her class from daycare. The weather was perfect and we all had fun!

Papa TT doing double duty:

The theme was April showers so the cake had a rainbow and the cupcakes had umbrellas. The icing on the cake melted a little bit:( It was starting to warm up by the time we sang to Tilly.

Ms. Jellybean was there to do face painting and balloon animals. The kids loved her!

Tilly had quite a few presents to open (even though we told guests not to bring them). The destruction:

Her favorite present was the one we got her - a toy grocery cart.

She immediately started putting the toy food Grandma/Grandpa got her into the cart:

Happy Birthday little girl!

Tigger is 4!!

Last weekend we (belatedly) celebrated Tigger's birthday at a local water park. The weather was great though it was really windy.

Trip hung out on her beach towel....

While Tigger and Tilly checked out the cake. Tigger requested Dora on his cake. I got this great cake topper online but didn't realize it wouldn't arrive on time (I should have paid for 2 day shipping!). I improvised with a Dora decoration and all was well.

Check out the hand going for one of the balls (the little balls are supposed to be mini beach balls)

Tigger and Tilly helped clean up some spilled sprinkles:

The guests arrived!

And Tigger wonders how he got to be 4 already - ok, that was me. Remember him in the incubator?

Yeah, the icing was blue.

Tilly is Two!!

Saturday we headed to a local park to celebrate Tilly's second birthday. We can't believe she's already two! We had some friends stop by and all the kids enjoyed some cake and fun on the playground.

I showed Tilly pictures of different cakes and she picked the zoo animal one. It was a lot of work but looked great in the end!

Happy Birthday little girl!!
