We had an awesome day celebrating Kate and Max's first birthday!
The kids had no idea what was going on and were blown away with all the excitement and attention that descended upon them after their morning nap! Their grandparents, great grandma Adam, Aunt Jenny and Uncle Andy, their number one sitter Shannon, Jenn and their play buddy Coby, Lora and Cole, and the Schultz boys were all in attendance. Uncle Matty tried to make it, but was stuck in the Dominican Republic because of the east coast blizzard! We skyped with Lana from New Zealand and Emma (home sick) sent us pictures holding candles. It was a whirlwind of activity - a feast of BBQ; tons of awesome gifts including books, a bird feeder, toys that make music, sing, roll, stack, and move by remote etc.; and cupcakes. All the kids played so well together and we managed to keep the blue icing in the kitchen (as far as we know).

Kate and Max practiced their walking with anyone who would hold their hands. Max and Coby enjoyed playing under the coffee table. Kate was in love with baby Ian and was very gentle. Merritt loved everything that had to do with Sesame Street, Elmo, and cupcakes. Gavin was super helpful at opening gifts and playing with Kate and Max and he even gave Max his first potato chip! Sarah, God love her, took a million pictures. The Grandmas were amazing doing EVERYTHING from cleaning the kitchen to holding babies. Grandma Mary brought Great Grandma Adam down from Connecticut for the weekend. Grammy Kranz made the the most incredible first birthday bibs ever (plus a matching apron for me) - I want to frame them not use them!

The whole event was spectacular and it will be replaying in my head for months! Thank you to everyone who sent us sweet messages, called, emailed, and came to visit. It means so much to us that so many people love our kids the way we do!
