Allison’s Baby Sprinkle

We are so excited for Allison’s baby girl, on her way here in October! Baby Girl made it easy on me and co-hostess, Auntie Lynn, by approving the pink and gold decorations; perfect, since I saved them from the twins’ first birthday party!

The morning of the Baby Sprinkle, the twins helped me with a donut hole emergency. I had requested simple donut holes with sprinkles from a local bakery, and while I wouldn’t have thought this would be a complicated matter, the donut holes were not only not round, there were only about five sprinkles per donut “oval.”

We made an emergency stop at the grocery store to buy *round* donut holes and the twins helped dip them in sprinkles before the party started. Continuing with the group effort, Jake’s amazing feat of the day was going to Party City with the twins and Meredith to pick up balloons for me… no idea how he made it in and out alive with all three girls and balloons, but that’s why I call him Super Dad! Thanks girls and Jake!

On the day of the Baby Sprinkle, social butterfly Meredith joined me at the party, while Jake and Zack took the kids swimming.

Baby Love for her soon-to-be-here cousin!

We put a copy of the twins’ favorite book of all time, Pinkalicious, out the entry table for the guest sign-in. I’m guessing their new cousin is going to like pink too.

Meredith was a little overwhelmed by the hoards of people kissing and pinching her cheeks, but happily hung out in the Ergo with me most of the time. She loved seeing all the cute presents and clothes her new baby cousin will be getting.

After swimming, the boys and kids came for leftovers.

The twins gave Noah some practice in baby sister comforting.

Noah’s 2nd Birthday

We can’t believe Cousin Noah is already two years old! The twins were excited to celebrate at his incredibly cute construction-themed birthday party. Since boy themes are totally out of our area of expertise, we were impressed with all the creative decor!

Smothered with twin kisses.

In between snacking and balloon animals, we took a spin around the splash pad and park.

Meredith was taking notes for her own birthday party, which will be here before we know it.

Such a cutie!

Once the clown disappeared, Elmo made his grand entrance. Much like at the girls’ own 2nd birthday party, they wouldn’t go near Elmo unless I was right there. I personally think clowns are scarier than giant red stuffed animals, but to each their own.

The moment we’ve all been waiting for…

Cute design and delicious.

Definitely high sugar voltage times two!

Noah’s attitude the whole party was, “Yeah. I’m cool. What else is new?”

BEST DAY EVER.

Cruelly tempting Meredith with a cupcake.

Cousin Noah and Koi Fish Fun

It’s always a special treat when we get to see Baby Noah, especially when we get to play at the beach!

Who’s that creature behind you, Noah? IMG_1292

Nice photo bombing, Great Uncle Steve!

Geez– what have you been feeding those fish, girls? They’re huge!IMG_7982

Speaking of huge– Samantha was very proud of the radioactively large pinecone she found at the park. IMG_7985

Tire swing for two.

Amelia is obsessed with all things turtle-related. I see a reptilian pet in our future. IMG_7996
