I'm a sentimental pack rat...

I don't have access to Charis' 1st birthday pictures right now but the little party hats we wore at Julia's birthday were also worn at Charis' & Mercy's 1st birthdays. :)

Hey, they were leftover and still in good condition and we've happened to get a lot of fun use out of them, lol! ;)

The Belated Birthday Girl

I forgot to post pictures of the night we had Julia's 1st birthday cake and ice cream.
We actually didn't celebrate just us until her 13 month birthday as we had had quite a bit of partying around her birthday and we didn't care to get sick!

It made it a special evening though and the children all enjoyed themselves and their cupcakes but they take after their momma in the fact that they think ice cream is way better. ;)

I don't know what it is about me and loving to run in the rain but I do. I guess it is just an enjoyable childhood memory that I love to re-live. :)

Anyways, the other day we actually had a good rain withOUT thunder and lightening!
As soon as I realized this I gathered the kids and we all went outside, had a blast and got soaking wet! :)
