The morning after . . .

After the girl's party yesterday we got up and instead of making the girls a healthy breakfast of oatmeal, fruit, or eggs, we let them have birthday cupcakes!






They loved that idea too!

Pepper and Izzy's First Birthday!

Oh my! I can't believe this moment has come. The girls are one!

For the girl's birthday this year we did a very small and simple party. We only invited a few close family members and even though our list was short it felt like our house was overflowing with people and love for these sweet little girls. We served pizza (Izzy's favorite) and had lots of sides and way too many pink cupcakes!
I had tried to be very stick about one thing: No sugar until their first birthday! And although I know a family member or two tried to sneak them a taste, for the most part, they didn't have any sugar until that plate of ice cream and birthday cupcake was laid in front of them!

Thank you everyone who helped me put together this party. It turned out wonderful and I was truly able to sit back and enjoy my baby girls on this day and not worry about ice, cups, or if the salad needed refilling. Today was all about my Izzy and my Pepper. We have been so blessed to have these two beautiful girls and can't wait for whatever comes next.
