HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABIES!!!

We can hardly believe it, but our sweet babies turned one last week!  What an incredible gift to have been blessed with these two angels.  We feel like the luckiest family on earth.  We thank Heavenly Father every day for Allison and Jackson.  Remember how little they were?  

We had a birthday party for them and we all had so much fun watching what they were most excited about.  We tied a bow on Jackson's head and he left it on almost the whole time!  He knew he looked adorable.  He is fascinated with Alli's hairbows that she always wears and he must wonder why we never put any bows on him!  
Allison was pretty surprised that we gave her a little piece of cake with whipping cream on it.  She couldn't decide if she was supposed to eat the cake or the plate...but she figured it out and had a great time!
Jackson loved the feeling of power you can only experience by holding and eating your very own piece of cake!  
The biggest hit of all for Jackson was probably the balloons!  He was mesmerized by them, as was Alli!  
Allison was such a girl!  She snuggled all of her new outfits that she got and held them up to her to see how they looked.  
Our precious babies have such wonder and excitement as they experience all these brand new things in life.  
Happy Birthday Allison and Jackson!  We love you forever and we thank you for every beautiful bit of joy you have brought to us.  Now, don't be in such a hurry to turn two...

Jacquie, reading the blog at Sharon's and Ryan is watching over my shoulder, or under it as it would be, when he says, "Is that a birthday? How old are they turning?"
I report, "One."
"Ohh,that's Soooo cute. Ethan's one and so are they."

I thought his sentiment was perefctly tender.

I love it Jacquie! I totally feel what you said about not hurrying to grow up. My baby is almost 16 months and I love all of the fun things he is learning and having fun with and I miss the very tiny baby stage even though it was hard (although I can't imagine 2 at a time). I am just not ready for him to be growing up so fast...that time never comes back. You have such a beatiful family. I love your family photo and the one of just you and Jer. You are as gorgeous as ever!!!
