The girls had an awesome time playing with their friends. There was definitely a house full of babies. My Dad called the downstairs living room "The Romper Room"! Two sets of identical twins, three one year old's and a 3 month old!!! The entire time they were playing the girls favorite toy was two empty water bottles. Imagine that. All the toys in the world and they go for the water bottles. After playing for quite awhile lunch was ready so we took shifts and got some food. Then, it was time to change into our bathing suits and go for a dip in the pool.
They were so big we finally had to take them off because they couldn't see where they were going! They did a really great job of keeping them on though which surprised us all. All the babies had a wonderful time splashing around in the pool. A few of the more adventure babies went over and played on the slip and slide too. Both girls decided they'd stick with their pool though. They're really good about not trying to get out and venture off. Once they're in they usually stay that way until you get them out.
All the boys went and played of the slip and slide - even the littlest! They had a lot of fun and it was a nice cool down on an extremely hot day. It ended up being over 100 degrees out. We didn't stay outside long.
Daddy, Uncle Rodney and Cousin A fishing in the pond. They caught some catfish and Cousin A had a blast!
After went went swimming everyone got dried off and we got ready for the cake. The girls were stripped down to their diaper with only a pull over bib and their crowns on. We sang Happy Birthday to each of them and let them "blow" out their candle. They didn't know what to think of the flame still.
I honestly believed that H1 would be the one to just barely dig into the cake and H2 would go all out but boy was I wrong. H2 only got into the icing but H1 dug in so far she actually ate the cake! After the cake we got a nice sippy cup of milk, got washed off and got ready for presents.
The girls are definitely loved. They got so many amazing and adorable gifts from everyone! They were so tired by the time we started opening them I don't think they really realized what was going on. They just kind of sat there in a birthday cake daze. Our little friend helped us out though!
All in all it was an amazing day! Everything went off without a hitch (although most of the balloons deflated in the heat within an hour!) and everyone had a lot of fun. I am happy to say our first birthday party was a success.
