Our little monkeys turned one year old yesterday and it was a great day. I have a lump in my throat as I sit down to write a bit about the day. It means so much to me to have these beautiful boys and it's at significant times like this that my heart feels even more full and overflowing than usual. On top of that, I can feel the love that pours out all around us and our kids from everyone in our lives. We are just so blessed. And for those of you that want them, here are a LOT of pictures from the party.
The past week was dominated by cake creation. Justin, with help from our friend Todd, made these cakes with love for the boys.

We sang happy birthday to each boy individually, in order of birth and let them see their cakes. The bigger boys helped blow out the candles!
I was surprised to see that by the end, Dylan was the tidiest cake eater. They all enjoyed their first taste of sweet sweet chocolate cake and icing. YUM!
Present Time!! It was a little wild. I should have been a little more organized about it but it was fun and the bigger kids enjoyed helping open the gifts. Thanks everybody!
The kids got some cups and water bottlesand they kept trying to drink out of them.

I was lucky enough to get a pic taken with each birthday boy.
And we party on...
Evan and cousin Beth
I'm not sure it's a good sign that Dylan finished off his party crashed out on the floor with a couple of bottles in his hands :)
All in all it was a great day and a really fun party. The boys are fabulous and I am so proud of them. They already seem like little boys. I am starting to see little temper tantrums and their sense of humour is getting more and more pronounced. They are SO funny. This next year is going to be Extremely entertaining and utterly exhausting - I can hardly wait!
