A Piece of Cake

We just celebrated Cannon and Carter's birthdays (since they were born 366 days apart - Oct. 21st '08 & Oct. 22nd '09). And I must admit...it is REALLY FUN (and easier) to have a two-day celebration!! It's like they both get two birthdays in a row!

Benefits:
- throw one party (at least while they are little)
- send out invitations once
- make two cakes at the same time
- decorate once
- go shopping all at once
- clean up after the party once
- put a TON of presents away once. Everyone was so generous...the boys love all their presents! Thank you!

Overall, the birthday stuff was "A piece of cake" (okay, kinda lame/cheesy, but I'm stickin' with it). Enjoy the picture overload!

Trying to get Carter to not touch the fire yet blow out the candle.;)

A party with grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles. Thanks for coming! Carter screaming with his Happy 1st Birthday hat! Perfect!;)

A Mickey Mouse themed party (even though Cannon really wanted a Team Umizoomi Party. We went with Mickey because A) it is easier to find stuff with Mickey and B) not many people even know about Team Umizoomi. Can you tell he was like..."Get this off of me?"

A really quick snapshot with Mickey ears since neither of my boys will wear hats.

Cannon blowing out his candles with cousins close by coaching/cheering him on.

It was really fun to see all of the celebrations through pictures. My favorite is of Carter and he's screaming with his birthday hat. He is loving that elastic on his chin. ;)

Well I just loved the pictures!! My favorite was of the serene family gathering and there's Carter screaming! And!!! The one of Carter attempting to blow out the candle. So cute, and a great shot of the super-parents!! Love it! Pictures speak more than words for sure!!!!
