Happy Birthday Again...

Today marked Jack and Ella's "2nd" 1st birthday... Ok, so it isn't actually their birthday, but it was supposed to be. Today was our actual due date.

Instead, today was the day that we came home from the hospital, so a celebration was in order either way. We decided that each year Jack and Ella would get two special days. Birthday #1, we will celebrate with family and friends. Birthday #2, we will celebrate in our own special way... just us.

Anyway, enjoy the pictures of their "2nd" 1st birthday:


Birthday smile (for those who commented that we don't post him smiling enough)


Watching Jackie riding in his new car


Hanging out


Jack in the box (of course, he was the first in...)


Birthday tots (who knew the kids would like fish sticks and tots?, but you have to make sure it's not too hot)


Birthday cake (or at least a slice of cake)


I just want to bang on the drum all day (Jack seems to have inherited a talent from his grandpa)


Pushing sister around (Jack would prefer to push his car around than ride in it)
