Our boys turned ONE on July 14, 2011. And as unbelievable as it seemed to me when I was holding two babies that could fit in my palm one year before, they grew A LOT! They grew into two totally healthy, normal, HANDSOME little boys, and steadily doing that still of course.
If you know me know that I love to decorate for parties. Let me correct myself because I think I should emphasize the I LOVE to decorate for parties, there that will do. :) So for the boys first birthday I went with a carnival/ circus theme. Complete with monkeys on a trapeze and miniature giraffe exhibits. Okay, they were stuffed but still, work with me people. So here are some pictures from the party. Hope you enjoy them- In fact I even had a little story book made to help to the story of the party for when they are older. Ill try to post that later.

What a great day it was. And though they may not remember all of Mommas' hard work that went into their very first birthday carnival, we will never forget :)
