We did the party in our backyard thinking it would be a warm but not hot fall afternoon. Well it ended up being really hot and of course the party started during the hottest part of the day. We set up 2 tables, a pink one with Siena's picture on it and purple for Aria's picture. Then I printed all their pictures from each month and taped them to the posts of our gazebo.
We served Hawaain Haystacks to keep with the PAIRadise theme. Aria decided she couldn't wait for dinner to get over so she decided to start opening the gifts early. My family gave the girls a ton of new toys which they are in love with. They almost all make noise and so we have a lot of noise going on in our house these days and they love it.
We served them cake. Of course we had to keep with the theme and decorated them as a beach scene and then made cupcakes for everyone else. The girls didn't really dig into their cake that much which didn't surprise me either. We fed them a little and then they weren't really interested. My dad also made his yummy homemade ice cream and has been very excited to feed it to the girls, as we wouldn't let him give them any until they turned one. At first they didn't really want any but after everyone stopped staring at them, all of the sudden we caught Aria eating cake on Jennifer's lap and Siena was in love with ice cream. So they both ate their fair share of cake and ice cream, they just didn't want everyone staring at them when they did.
It turned out to be a great day. A big thanks for all our family (and Brigitte, Holland and Tyler, but I just count you when I say family) for the fun presents, cute clothes and supporting us and the girls for their birthday and this last entire year.

Sheri! What a cute party. I am so sad I live so far away. The girls so so happy and excited with their presents. Good job!
