Thing 1 and Thing 2 Birthday Party

-
 Last weekend, I went to Houston to attend
the first birthday party of my 1 year old
twin nephews.  
Boy, can my niece and nephew-in-law
throw a party.
They would be the first to say
that others, like MawMaw and
Aunt Stacie pitched in to make
it a success.

I hope you enjoy the wonderful pictures of all
the details that made the party so much
fun for children and adults alike.  

Cookies

Cupcakes

Popcorn in cute bags with Dr. Seuss sayings.

Smash cakes.
I had not heard that term
before but these were the cakes that
Thing 1--Alex
and Thing 2--Nick
smashed and ate.


Assorted sweets all in the blue and red theme.


Punch

"Real" food too and even a cheese tree.



Everywhere you turned, there were more decorations.

Wreaths with pictures of the boys during
their first year.
This is Alex.

This is Nick.


Each boy had a book
for the guests to sign so they
would one day "remember"
who was at their first
birthday party.



Drinks in a cute color coordinated tub

A welcome to our party arrangement

Fili's parents had these
cute Thing 1 and Thing 2
pinatas made.


Picture garlands




 Mom and Dad



A great caricature artist who was a huge hit.


The stars of the show
They were so, so cute
and such troopers though the whole party.





The Pinatas were a huge
success with the cousins.









Nick got a shot



Alex gets his turn.

Cousin Graham got in on the action.



Aaron confiscated Thing 1's
foot when it finally fell off.
The birthday boys were worn out
by the end of the day and needed
read nourishment.

So thankful that I am able to
travel to Texas for special
occasions like these.
Happy Birthday, Nick and Alex.

I remember when my twins were one! lol. pretty sure one of us got a migraine while the other 3 of us spent the day crying and we cancelled the party. these guys are troopers for sure and I send all my admiration! Way to go, Twin Mom and Twin Dad! Also: as a wise twin mom once told me, "it gets easier after the first year." enjoy the coming months!

New Walking Shoes

I have loved the Dansko shoes that I wear when it is cool. But I needed some comfortable walking shoes and amazingly Dansko now makes  "tennis shoes". They are so comfortable, although a little wild.  Probably should have gone with a more neutral pair, but these are fun. And to all the fashion police out there, no, one pant leg is not longer than the other.  It is just the angle of the camera. Sheesh!!!!!

Laundry Dilemma

Image
OK, all of my friends in Blogland, I have a problem and those closest to me are getting tired of me showing them my laundry dilemma and of me trying to get them to help me figure it out so I am sharing my problem with you in hopes that some BRILLIANT person can help me. Several, and I mean several of my shirts are getting holes in them. I hope you can see from the pictures below--I have put a red cloth behind the holes in hopes that they would show up better. They start out with tiny little pinprick holes and then they "grow". They are always right about waist level. I have been working on this puzzle for a several weeks because I don't want to have to replace all my clothing every few weeks (although there is a Stein Mart in Colorado Springs.) See the solutions that have been ruled out. not one of my bracelets puncturing the cloth no, I'm not wearing a belt that is puncturing the cloth it does not seem to be something that I am leaning up against the seatbelt ...

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...
