Thanksgiving and 1st Birthday Party!

We had a lovely Thanksgiving and birthday party thanks to great friends and family. Thanksgiving was fun to compare to last year - last year, I was big as a house and only nominally more mobile, and 4 days away from going into labor. This year, our two little toddlers walked, babbled, and ate dinner on their own. So thankful for these joyful, beautiful little girls.

And then we had our fun birthday party, where they played, cuddled, and generally were showered with love from all. They actually turn one in two days. Can. Not. Believe. It. What a year of ups and downs and laughs and tears and exhaustion and exhilaration. We have toddlers now and not babies. Wow!

Thank you to everyone out there who has done dishes, brought meals, given presents, cuddled babies, babysat, listened to joys and concerns, and just made us and the babies feel so loved and supported. We couldn't have done it without you.

Having fun at Aunt Kris and Uncle John's newly babyproofed house 

Blocks!

She loved that little stuffed pumpkin in her right hand

They both LOVE the potato basket

Ooo found sweet potatoes even


They're probably still finding potatoes in odd corners

Dah-dah!

Mmm dessert from John

Yum yum. I think she ate about half of his dessert then he went back for just whipped cream so she could keep eating. Spoiled rotten ;-)


Nice dolly

Playing blocks with Pat

Eating Thanksgiving dinner, more successfully after we closed the doors and they stopped escaping with their turkey


Mmmmm dessert from Daddy

Loving the purse, tongue out

And in jammies for the ride home, so they could go right to sleep

Cuddles

Papa looked hungry I guess

With Papa and Grandpa

Blow out the candles!

Cake! (Next year I'll make two cakes I promise girls :-))

Family picture, everyone make sure to look a different way!

Eating a fork with Great-Grandpa

Freya found some ribbons from a present

And showed them to her friend Charlie

And walked around shaking and shaking them. She was so happy flapping them.

Opening a present with Daddy

Oh no Signe got one of Freya's ribbons!

Showing off her cool new slippers

Ohhh what's in the box

In the middle of presents and wrapping

Pat teaching Freya how to cheer with her "poms"

And she still has the ribbons
