The twins birthday was June 12th and snuck up on me rather quickly. We decided to have a low key, family day focused on the twins instead of throwing a big bash...especially since we just moved here. Brian's parents were in town and so the 7 of us went to an amusement park geared towards younger kids in New Hampshire. There weren't quite as many rides the babies could ride as we thought, but they were thrilled to be out and about and Nolan definitely had fun! We ended the day with take out pizza, presents and of course cake. It was a beautiful day, and one I used to reflect on the past year. We are so grateful to all of our friends and family that supported us endlessly in the past year and most importantly I'm so grateful to my God for giving us these boys and for each and every day with all 3 of them. They are all miracles and they make me so stinkin' proud!
Two out of 3 smile big. Poor Jo Jo is terrified.
We are set up to party!
The cakes were made by me. Ha, not! I wish! Maybe next year. I went to an adorable little bakery in Lexington, fell in love with the place actually. We laughed that the "big people" cake was the same size as the babies, but double stacked (the babies one layer only), but it was MORE than enough (had a yummy raspberry filling in the middle for us)!
We sang Happy Birthday twice...to Joseph, then Daniel. This was the part of the day I almost cried...where did a year go? Joseph wouldn't keep his hat on until we could distract him with cake. 
The first bite...Daniel's (left) not so sure. Joseph's positively sure of this and is hurrying before we decide to take it away!
Joseph & Daniel's 1st carousal ride.
The park's shark. Nolan asked if he would bite him!
We had a mini photo session before cakes and gifts. It went fairly well, but Joseph is afraid of heights, so didn't like being up on the box. I love this shot because Nolan, without anyone telling him, kept kissing Daniel.

Getting a little messy. Daniel mostly just watched from this point on, very intrigued, totally happy, but not interested in the cake. We finally offered it to him on a spoon and he gobbled it up...he's very civilized!!
This just makes me chuckle, because Daniel kept watching J like he was insane! How different can two boys be??
Big brother gets a bite!
What a glorious disaster!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY sweet boys! Love the pics! We were in the same boat with our boys' 1st, since we had just moved here. We are all for quality family time celebrations:) Looks like y'all are having a blast!
Aww, too sweet! It still makes me sad that I haven't held those boys yet! Happy First Birthday Joseph and Daniel and congrats to Mommy and Daddy on making it through the 1st year with grace, humor and love!
