Presents!

Anna Claire and Mallory's morning began with Walter and I singing them "Happy Birthday" before they were even out of their cribs. Mallory thought it was a hoot and danced along with our singing; Anna Claire was not so sure. Since the girl's birthday is today, but their party isn't until Saturday, we let them open their "big" gifts this morning: a ladybug sandbox, a ride-on toy train, and a tunnel! Pictures of the sandbox will have to come later. It was a bit too damp outside to play in the sand this morning.

Tunnel Vision

Anna Claire wanted nothing at all to do with the tunnel. I think with more time, she will warm up to it, especially after she sees Mallory crawl through a few more times.After careful inspection, Mallory's curiosity (and her general lack of fear) got the best of her. She couldn't get enough of the tunnel. She would crawl through, get to the end, turn around, and crawl back in the other direction - over and over and over again.
Choo-Choo

Both girls love their new Leap Frog See and Learn Train. Actually, they would cry when we made them take turns. As a matter of fact, Mallory even had a little temper tantrum when we made her get off to go to Granny and Papa's house.


Mallory would have pushed Anna Claire all over the house this morning if we'd let her.
Anna Claire wasn't so sure about sharing her ride with her sister.
Aren't their "Birthday Girl" T-shirts so cute? Thanks, Aunt Michelle.

We have many more exciting things planned for the girls today and especially Saturday. Stay tuned for more first birthday fun!

Oh my gosh! So cute! And such good ideas for gifts...hmmm....

I want to get a couple of those onesies/shirts for E&R's first in September. Can you tell me where she got them?

What cute pictures of your girls. How exciting. My daughter turns 1 exactly two months from today. I have been planning her party for a while, I can't wait! I like the shirts/onsies as well. Where did she get them?

Happy Birthday, girls! My how fast this year has gone! Enjoy your cake - and, please, make a big mess - and tell mommy to take tons of pictures - like she has to be reminded. :)
