Happy 1st Birthday!

We decided to combine Casen & Collins' 1st birthday party with Christmas this year so that more family could be a part. Aunt Lori & Uncle Mike were here with Gram & Wampa; & Nana, Pop, Aunt Megan, & Aunt Lindsey drove in from Dallas to help celebrate. We had a blast!

Opening birthday gifts.

We spent a lot of time pulling wrapping paper out of Case & Lainey's mouths - they kept trying to eat the paper.

Welcome to Toyland!! These are all of the wonderful, thoughtful, & fun gifts the kids received this year for Christmas & their birthday. Thanks everyone! They are already having so much fun playing together.

Casen & Collins have very different ideas about how to eat cake. Case likes the "lick one finger" option...

While Collins thought "I've got 10 fingers for a reason!"

Aunt Lindsey made these beautiful melted crayon canvases with the kid's names - how creative!

Collins testing out her Bounce 'n' Ride in her new jogging suit.

Collins testing out the Vtech activity table - she's not walking quite yet.

Case & Lainey are having so much fun playing with their tent & pop-up tunnel! It's so cute to watch them play together!

Collins loves playing horsey with Nana!

For their actual birthday, we took the kids to the Caldwell Zoo in Tyler for the 1st time. We had a lot of fun walking around & seeing all the animals - can't wait to go back when they're older!
