Birthday Party People

I'm finally getting around to posting the pictures of the twins birthday party from a week ago. They had so much fun, and we had a such a good time celebrating with those we love.

Jack and Harper were so excited to see Papa and Uncle Bubba and Emmy when we got home from getting haircuts. I was happy to have some distraction for the kids while Tony and I did some last minute party preparations.

Jack was insistent that we wanted Chick-Fil-A chicken nuggets at his party; Harper wanted cake, and both kids were excited to have party hats. Well, Tony took care of the nuggets and cakes, but we couldn't find party hats. Papa and Uncle Bubba made a last minute run to get the party hats and save the day.

The kids were excited to see Nana and Pop and Great Granny and Aunt Becky and Uncle Rex who arrived just in time for the nuggets to be unwrapped and the guacamole to be finished. Ms. Durinda was also nice enough to come out on her day off to help the kids celebrate, so, we all grabbed some plates and chatted with with friends while the kids played and Abby trolled around for food.

The Mickey and Minnie Mouse hula cake was a big hit and Jack and Harper enjoyed listening to everyone sing "Happy Birthday" to them. They both blew out their candles (with a little help from Mom) and then they dug into their cake. Jack had cake all over his face, up his nose, all over his cheeks...Harper, on the other hand, was a very dainty girl eating her cake- it's funny to see how different they really are.

After cake we opened presents and the kids were so excited to see their new books and toys and puzzles and shoes that they were still running through the house playing as our guests left. The two birthday kiddos finally fell into bed past their bedtime, and very sleepy but also very happy.

Happy 2nd Birthday Harper and Jack! You make two look so cool!
