Happy 1st Birthday Liam and Olivia!

Yesterday was Liam and Olivia's first birthday. Wow! We can't believe a year has gone by already.

We celebrated with a party at our neighborhood park. It was Mickey and Minnie Mouse themed in honor of our trip to Disneyland later this week. They had the cutest shirts made and I didn't get any good pictures. I will try to get a good one at Disneyland. We went all out with Mickey shaped hamburgers, chicken nuggets, and even pasta salad. We also had corn dogs, watermelon, and a popcorn machine. Their cakes were so cute and they loved their first taste of something sweet. As you can see from the pictures Olivia dove in but Liam took his time. We had so much fun celebrating with all of our family and friends. Thank you to everyone for sharing in this special day with us, for all of the amazing gifts, and for all of the love and support this past year.

Olivia is walking too!

A few weeks ago (right at 11 months) Olivia started walking too. Sorry it has taken me so long to get the video of her first few steps posted. I guess it is true that the second child gets slighted (and technically she is the second child - born 2 minutes after Liam!). This is not the best video but we were happy to capture one of her first attemps on camera. Anyway, she is now an even a little better walker that Liam and can easily take 10-12 steps across a room without loosing her balance. Their new skill means they like spending time in the play pen less and less. Soon they will be running around the house... scary thought for Mommy and Daddy!
