Dragons and Princesses

This year was our first official double birthday party!  Liam and Fiona were born on the same day 2 years apart.

This years theme was Dragons and Princesses

The table was split right down the middle. Dragons on one side, Princesses on the other.

My mom used to make us Barbie cakes all the time, so I carried on the tradition and made one for Fi Fi.

And cupcakes with little tiaras.

For Liam it was a dragon cake with the dragons flying through the sky.

And little dragon back cupcakes.

They were both so excited for their birthday!

Fiona was hanging on to her grandma the whole time.

They both loved opening their presents.

Liam especially loved his toy from daddy.  It was a Cars race track.  He gave it to me and kept saying "Ok Mommy. Ok Mommy" over and over again.  He couldn't wait to open it up.

Fiona was not so sure about her cake.  She took a couple bites, played in the frosting, and then crawled away.

Liam LOVED his cake.  He got a fork and went to town!!!

And our growth chart.  We have some tall kids.  Fiona is about 2 inches taller than Liam was at age 1.

We had so much fun for their birthdays.  I can't believe I was blessed with 2 wonderful kids.  We love them so much.

Chris' Beard

Chris grew a beard!  It didn't last long but it was fun while it lasted.

We also had some fun shaving it off too.

Mema

Our dear sweet Mema passed away from a sudden episode with septic shock.  She was fine one day and gone the next.  It is always how she wanted to go. We miss her so much.  She was always here for us whenever we needed her.  She loved her grandkids so much and would do anything for them.

We will miss you Mema, but we are so lucky to have spent the time with you that was given to us.
