happy 1st birthday

Rowan wasn't too sure about the whole deal.....
...but Reese LOVED it!! :0)

What a milestone a 1st birthday is and we were so blessed to have been able to spend it with so many friends and family! We ventured to Omaha on Friday afternoon to attend Jamie and Nicky's wedding. What a great time that was being able to finally welcome her to the family! :o) On Saturday we had a great birthday party for Reese and Rowan that was enjoyed by several members of our family and even some friends! Although they won't remember it, there were lots of pictures taken for us to look at in the years to come. It was exciting to see how they both reacted to being able to eat their cupcakes without mommy there making sure they weren't making too big of a mess! There were so many gifts that we had trouble fitting them all in the car on Sunday for our next venture....Norfolk. Dalton was being confirmed on Sunday morning, so we loaded everything in the car (and by "we" I mean Nic) and headed to Norfolk in time for church at 11:00. After confirmation we were able to enjoy lunch with more family....and even a few more gifts! WHEW!! It is a good thing that birthday's only come once a year! :0) The weekend might have been a blur, but it was a great time and one that we won't soon forget!! Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate the first year of our beautiful baby girls' lives! What a blessing this past year has been and we are looking forward with wide eyes at what the years to come will bring! Love to all! :0)
