Happy Birthday Elena and Orrin

Warning:  Picture overload!  Lots of pics of the twins' 1st birthday celebration!  I can't believe our babies are ONE!

Cupcakes on their actual birthday

Balloons at their party

The twins' cake.  My good friend (and very talented) Megan made the cakes for the twins

"Ooh...what's that!?"

"Feels kinda funny, Mama"

"Haha!  I'm going to make a MESS!"

"Hmmm...tastes pretty yummy!"

"Ok....ALL DONE!"

"What's all the racket, Sissy?"

"Oh MY!  Look at my HANDS!"

"EEK!"

Messy girl
 

And messy boy

March

In January, we started supplementing Orrin with some formula once a day. We tried to alternate with the twins, but Elena wouldn't tolerate ANY formula.  Giving Orrin formula gives Papa an opportunity to feed a baby!  He loves that special time. 

"Helping" Papa study for his Master Arborist exam :-)  Papa's SUCH a good sport!

Not sure how much studying was really accomplished here...but Will looks pretty focused!

Cute pink Carhart overalls

And matching brown for Sir Orrin

Sweet baby hugs at the end of the work day
