First set of pictures from the twins first birthday party

I know it's taken awhile, but I have procured pictures of the big 1st b-day shindig from three different sources - my brother, my mother and step-father, and Jamie, a co-worker of Sara's (although it was her husband Mike who took the pictures). I've got a LOT of pictures, so I'll be posting some as often as I can over the next several days. Today's guest photographer is my brother, Josh. Hope you all enjoy!


Cousins Victoria and Kayla are checking out the twin's playhouse

Victoria helped me out by feeding Alex -
he seems OK with it!

Well, I was going to try and upload more, but Blogger is acting up and won't let me!
I'll try again later, I promise.

The Twins are 1 year old!

Well, technically they turned one on Sunday... But, hey, Here are some new pictures of them! I don't have any pictures of the birthday party (yet), but I do have some video. As soon as I can get it edited and posted to YouTube, you'll be able to watch it right here. Here are some pictures we've taken over the last few days -


Alex is wondering what George is looking at...


Mara is standing - sometimes unassisted!


Alex is very important. Look, he needs TWO phones!


Mara has a cute bow in her hair


Alex wants his pacifier

How big is Mara?


SO BIG!!


Lucas likes to wait here while the twins eat.
Why? Because they throw him food, of course!


Our wonderful one year olds :)
