Our 1st birthday party

We had a great birthday party yesterday for Ada and Emmet. Their actual birthday isn't until tomorrow but we had a small party yesterday for them. Neither napped very well in the morning (go figure) so they were a little "off" and not at their "best" during the party. Ada loosened up after a little while. Emmet preferred to snuggle with Nana and then enjoyed reading books by himself for a while. After everyone ate lunch we opened presents. It's all such a blur as we did it quickly with squirmy babies on our laps! Emmet decided he had had enough of it all (that and I attempted to put a party hat on him...bad idea) and broke out in tears. He cried through singing Happy Birthday and blowing out candles but the tears dried up quickly when he got his very own piece of cake! He repeatedly said "mmmmm" while he ate the frosting. Ada was quiet but appeared to enjoy her piece of cake just as much. Neither Ada or Emmet went crazy with it, no cake in their hair or on the floor. I think they were just too tired. We visited a little while longer and then it was nap time. They were happy to be in their cribs, snuggled up in their blankies for some quiet time. The day was busy with a lot of commotion, which they are really not used to. Overall it went well and we were so happy to spend the day with family and close friends. Everyone was so generous and Ada and Emmet are having fun exploring their new toys and books. THANK YOU!!!!!
