My girl's spring birthdays!

I have been so delinquent in my posting for this blog, not sure if anyone noticed but I do, sometimes late at night but I never do anything to remedy it!

But today is a sunny Friday and it seems like a day for accomplishments (including painting the trim in Savannah's room) so I'll go ahead and share the very- late pics of Savannah and Felicity's birthday parties!

Both of my girls have birthdays in the spring. So April and May are very girly, birthday festivity happening months, and I love it.

Savannah turned 6, and wanted a park birthday, so we planned it and when the day of the party rolled around it just rained, and rained, and never stopped. But we stuck it out, and so did her guests and we all had a fun/ wet/ chilly/ at-least-the-pizza-was-warm-and-dry night. She wanted a diamond castle cake so she, Liam and I worked on it all day together (honestly they did most of the work, with me hovering tightly over them) with half lemon and half vanilla. They even placed the little diamond and castle cake toppers themselves and sprinkled it. Just making the cake was one of the funnest things we did that day! Savannah had all of those details planned months in advance. Savannah felt so special, and that is all that mattered.

Does that candle SERIOUSLY have a six on it? Isn't she still a baby? No?

Warm pizza!

The present huddle.


Braving the rain!

Felicity is now a one year old and that fact still shocks me sometimes. We celebrated her birthday out at the house on a Saturday evening and had burgers, the fixings, cupcakes and cherry chocolate chip cookies (one of the the best cookies, ever!). Her theme was "Flower of the Prairie" and we had wildflower bouquets full of flowers that her Nanna and Mema brought and that the kids hunted down around our property

The wind wrecked havoc on our floating flowers.

Birthday girl!

Savannah on the deck that Poppy built in half a day for us!! No more stepping out onto a little rock and then dirt! Thanks Poppy!!



Felicity LOVES these "Di Dat" (kitty cat) PJs and couldn't get enough of them!

I don't think I have ever seen a one year old have so much fun at her party. Every inch of her knew it was her party, and she flirted and was cute to all of the guests and actually opened every single present with me and examined each one! She had an absolute ball.

My sweet girls are growing up at super speed right before my eyes and it's hard to take! I am so blessed to watch them grow and see their personalities unfold and get to know who God designed the to be more and more each day, but I always have that bittersweet feeling that every mother knows at the same time.

I truly believe these two girls are two of the most incredible girls in this world, and I am so blessed that I'm their mother. That I get to love them, fill their tummy's, change their diapers (not Savannah anymore :) kiss their boo boos, help them clean their rooms, fix their hair, pick out their clothes in the morning, educate them, teach them about our God and how wonderful he made this world, brush their teeth, and protect them from their equally as awesome but completely pestering little brother.

Here's to another beautiful year with my girls :)
