The BIG day!!!!

Just playing before she dance.
This is the ballet costume.

This is the tap costume, they danced to The Birds and the Bee song, it was super cute.

Mackenzie has been taking dance this year and Saturday was her recital. This week has been busy for her and me with the dress rehearsal and the big day etc..... I must admit that it was all worth it when she got on that stage and danced. She did a tap routine and a ballet routine. She was super excited that daddy brought her flowers. I looked at her on that stage and realized that she is growing up and I must admit I did have to fight back some tears.

The Big PARTY!!!!!

I love playing with a fairy cabbage patch doll, thanks Memaw Griffin.

We got a lot of clothes and toys.

All of our friends had a good time helping us open our gifts.

Me and Memaw enjoying a strawberry. She kindly used the shirt as a napkin.

This cake is soooooo good!!

Happy Birthday Ava and Elyse!!!!

One year ago today we had twin girls. We knew they would be a lot of work but who knew they would be as fun as they are. We are blessed to have 3 girls that are healthy and happy. My girls are the light of my life and have been the best thing to happen to us. We enjoy them more and more each day. So Ava and Elyse "Happy Birthday". We love you!!!

Love, Mommy, daddy and Kenzie.

First haircut and first lollipop!!!!

If you know me then you know that I love my hairdresser, she ROCKS!!!. Only Ginger could cut a one year olds hair in a style. Elyse now has a shaped up bob in the back and Ava's is the same length in the back(still a little wild but no where near as bad as it was). As you have seen over the past year that my girls have a lot of hair, especially AVA!!! They got there first of many haircuts today. They also got a lollipop for the first time just to help keep them still, it worked wonders. Enjoy the pics!!!!

Yes look at all that hair!!

One week later!!!

Without going into a lot of detail this is Elyse exactly one week after major surgery. She looks GREAT!!! From being a nurse I know that kids bounce back fast but my daughter was a ROCK STAR!!!!! Oh by the way who knew that my husband was a carpenter. He built on to the existing play set and added two baby swings for the girls and that absolutely adore them. Thanks DADDY!!!!

She really is laughing.

Let's Party!!!

Gotta love pizza!!

Maybe I have a future gymnast.

We recently went to a birthday party at the Little Gym and the girls had a blast. Elyse thought she owned that place, she was trying her hardest to play with the big kids. Ava loved the balls and Mackenzie just loves gymnastics period!!!
