Wow! I can't believe how fast the last 7 years have gone by. Last Monday the kids celebrated their birthday. It was a day of reflection for me. Remembering how I felt when I saw them for the first time, how it all happened, Granny cooking breakfast, the pain, how bad the pain was, how beautiful they were when they were born. It was hard for me to put my thoughts into complete sentences. I love them both so much and in so many different ways. I could not have asked for more wonderful kids.
FOr some reason I didn't get as many of the girl party as I did Nick's Oh yeah because they were just running around screaming. Oh they were loud.
THis year they decided to have seperate birthday parties. During the power outage we decided a pj, movie party would be fun so we borrowed a projector and hung a sheet on the wall in the basement and it was very cool. Nick had 7 friends over and watched Star Wars Clone Wars and Caroline had 6 girls and watched High School Musical. Not much watching happened but everyone had fun.
Monday they took cupcakes to school for each class and Grandma and Pa-paw came over for dinner. I have created several traditions over the years for their birthday, but I had to let some of them go this year realizing there was so much other stuff going on I didn't have time. One of those traditions was special cake toppers on small bday cakes and making their invitations. So we handed down the invitation tradition to Aunt Mel and I still made small cakes they just didn't have special toppers.
Here are the pictures:
