Josh's Birthday

The girls each got Josh their own present. (and I even let them decorate them). They were VERY into their work.

 We actually were out shopping for his presents around lunch time and Josh met us at McDonalds for a special birthday lunch with Daddy. 

After work we drove to Everence to see his new office and pick him up for dinner. We went to Applebees.

Here is Josh in his office for those of you who are interested. I was pretty happy that the girls cooperated.

  Josh always wants brownies instead of a cake.

 And me helping Josh open the present from me. (Brooklynn took the picture....I'm pretty impressed.)

 The girls each got him a new shirt and tie (all purple...) and I got him a pair of jeans and another tie that matched. Afterwards we had LOTS of fun with the ties. Brookylnn kept wearing them making funny faces.

 Happy Birthday, my love.

Carpet Angels

Because it was Gabby's birthday, Brooklynn was trying extra hard to do things to get me to take her picture. She decided to do "carpet angels" and kept telling me to take her picture.

Gabby's 1st Birthday

My sweet Gabriella...I can't believe you are ONE!!! We had a really fun day celebrating you. Although, it seems like every day lately you are almost this happy. Such a sweet girl. You love to eat. We made your favorite and had pizza for dinner and then cupcakes. You loved everything about both. 

Grandpa even got to stop by for a special visit on your birthday! 

Brooklynn helped me decorate the cupcakes with sprinkles.

AND, as a special bonus for your birthday, I even got a cute picture of my two girls together. 

For your snack you got popcorn...another favorite. I even let you just have the whole bowl, which you quickly dumped out. You loved every second of it. 

Brooklynn didn't like Gabby getting so much attention.
