Syd at 1

Halle at 1

Then And Now

Halle holding Kalee and Syd holding Carlee both pictures....I remember Halle was holding Kalee in hospital because she said from the beginning that Kalee was her baby. LOL She loves Carlee too but in most pictures Halle is holding Kalee.

Together At Last

Carlee and Kalee were seperated for about 1 week. They couldn't be together in the same bed until they were free from some tubes and wires. Sweet girls haven't stopped sleeping with one another since!

Carlee 4lbs 2 ozs Kalee 4 lbs 1 oz
After 5 days of contractions, several doctors trying to stop them, and 2 hospitals, Carlee and Kalee arrived at 5:12 and 5:14 pm at 32 weeks via C- section. They look just pitiful in these pictures but believe it or not they were a couple of the healthiest babies in the NICU.

Double The Family, Double The Love

Jeffrey, Halle, Sydney, and I were truly blessed a year ago this Wednesday when Carlee and Kalee entered our family! They have been a true blessing to our family and we have enjoyed every moment of the past year!

I hope you all enjoy looking at the pictures of the birthday celebration of Carlee and Kalee's first birthday!

Post overload today as well..... one post went to the older posts. Check it out... it is a sweet one!

Double The Guests, Double The Fun

Carlee and Kalee had a big day playing with all their guests at the party! The trampoline, however, was a little too crowded for them. :)

All the kiddos had fun playing on the playground. The adults were content sitting in the shade eating and watching them play.

Thanks to everyone who came to enjoy Carlee and Kalee's first birthday!

Double The Gifts, Double The $

Thanks to everyone who came to Carlee and Kalee's first birthday and not only brought one gift but two! From a little help from mom, dad, and Syd, Carlee and Kalee opened and loved all their gifts. (Halle was too busy playing).

The girls received great gifts. They got several new clothes, push toys so they can learn to walk finally, outside toys from toy lawn mowers that blow bubbles to play pools to swim rings for the pool. They also received money that will go in the bank for future investments! :) They loved the boxes and the wrapping paper just as much as the toys! ;) Seriously though, they loved all their gifts and have been playing with them already!

My brother also donated money to the Baptist NICU in Carlee and Kalee's name for their birthday. Thanks Brandon for such a thoughtful gift on top of the other gifts you gave them! They love their "I love my uncle" bibs! :)
