Happy Birthday to US!!!

YAY for us, we are now ONE! WOOHOO



So we had our official Birthday on June 4. So exciting. Mommy and Daddy cannot even believe that it has already been a year. One year ago we were born and were so little. We had to stay in the NICU for three weeks, but it felt like FOR-EV-VER for mommy and daddy. We finally came home and we have been growing and moving ever since!



On our actual birthday Grandma and Grandpa Johnson came over to give us presents. So exciting. Our Grandma and Grandpa Worton came over the day before because they had to go out of town. Mommy couldnt find the camera so unfortunately there are no photos of those presents. But we got some super cute and fun outfits that are sure to be documented in the days to come.


We had fun opening our presents and exploring the bows and tissue paper. The clothes we got were cool too. We got some cute princess sweaters that light up when you touch them!




Claire, exploring her spoils...
Then on Saturday, the 6th, we had our BIG GINORMOUS BIRTHDAY SHINDIG! It was awesome. There were about 50+ people there, family and loved ones. We are so lucky to have such a huge family! So here are fun photos of that event. Mommy put Uncle Garett in charge of taking pictures and he went CRAZY with all the pictures he took! Here are just a few!

Eating dinner in our decorated high chairs. Mmmmm, hot dogs, pasta salad, pink salad... yum.




Then it was present time! We had fun looking at all the clothes and shoes and toys we got from everyone!


Then we patiently awaited the big moment... The FIRST BIRTHDAY CAKE EXPERIENCE. Mommy made us our very own special chocolate frosted cakes... See how we enjoy them...


Joci dove right in...

Claire was thinking, "Hmmmm, do I like this? I think I do!"

And then... Joci had an itch...


the result:

Claire is worn out by the festivities
"Too...much...chocolate..."

"I want more!!"

All done

The aftermath... Meltdown in the bath tub

It was so much fun and we slept so great that night, dreaming of all the good times we had.
Thank you everyone who came and helped us have a great birthday party!
We love you all!
