13 Months Old!

The boys turned 13 months old on January 24th! Hard to believe. We had a very fun filled December with them. We celebrated their first birthday a little early on December 20th. Their actual birthday is on Christmas Eve, December 24th so we thought that might be too hectic of a day. The boys had their first piece of cake and as you can see in the pictures are not quite sure what to make of it. I think once they started eating it they thought it was pretty good. They received some wonderful first Birthday gifts: toys, clothes, books, you name it!

We spent their actual birthday night at my Mom's celebrating Christmas Eve. The boys were once again showered with gifts although I think they were more into the boxes and the paper at the moment, they warmed up to the toys later! Christmas morning we awoke to yet more gifts from Santa. I guess they were good boys this year! They enjoyed playing during the morning and then it was off to Dayton where we spent Christmas. We arrived there around 3:00 and you guessed it once again the boys were showered with more Birthday and Christmas gifts. Albie at this point was going out of his mind thinking of space issues for all of the toys! :) We spent the next few days in Dayton where the boys had fun exploring Grandma and Grandpa's house. It was lots of fun!

Below are some pictures from Christmas morning and celebrating their birthday. Their official first birthday picture is posted below too! Enjoy, Tricia
