HAPPY BIRTHDAY Carter and Dreyton!

How do you put all of the emotions and milestones of one year into a small blog post? We have truly been so blessed and we thank God for giving us these two healthy, happy children. We have enjoyed sharing them with all of our blog followers and look forward to what next year has to offer. Thanks to our friends and family for the constant support, encouragement and words of wisdom that helped us get through this first year as new parents.

We have posted a few pictures of last nights birthday party but true to the chaos, we didn't take as many pictures as we would have liked so there will be more to come. The twins friend Brayden is one day older so we had a joint celebration and we look forward to his birthday party tonight. Brayden loved the cupcakes while Dreyton and Carter weren't quite sure how to approach the chocolate heap. Carter enjoyed smearing the icing all over her dress while Dre came away from the whole thing clean as a whistle. Maybe he's just saving it up for his birthday party in Indy!

A side note: Justin's comment to me this morning while we were getting up, "Can you believe we've made it 365 nights?"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARTER AND DREYTON! It's hard to believe it's been an entire year since we saw your first sweet pictures on here. We love watching you grow and seeing how happy you make your mommy and daddy. We still can't wait to meet you, and we are looking forward to all the excitement you two will bring this next year!

Happy Birthday Carter and Dreyton!
Wishing you sunny days....for fun at the park. Rainy days...for lazy days playing inside. Snowy days...for trips to the mountains.
Wishing you healthy growing...teeth for those adorable smiles....words to go with your wonderful laughter.
May God bless you today and in the coming year.
kisses and hugs
Grandma

Happy Birthday Dreyton! Happy Birthday Carter! We wish you lots of fun and exciting days for your upcoming year (being 1 year old)! To Mommy & Daddy, we love seeing the blogs and getting all the updates... NYC and Colorado are just too far apart, so it's really great that we can watch Rebecca's cousins grow and explore. Your first Birthday is a big milestone, so we can't wait to celebrate with you guys in Indy! Love - Erin, Jeff and cousin Rebecca

First birthdays are so special. No way it seems like a year. I have thought about you all weekend.I still love the prego pics of Shannon, Justin in delivery and finally the photo of the twins together. Blessed x2. Again I will say that checking your blog daily is a highlight of my morning. Thanks for all the effort it has taken to share with us. Happy Happy Birthday Birtday Dre & Carter. Justin - in thinking of Jenna's May birthday, what is 365 x 23 plus Garrett 365 x 20 -- and think of your parents' numbers! We love you 4! Aunt B & family
