Happy Birthday, boys!

Our boys turned ONE YEAR OLD on March 14. We are so proud of them, and of all their accomplishments in their first year. We celebrated their graduation from "babyhood" to "toddlerhood" with family and friends...

We had a party at home for local friends and family the Saturday before their birthday. Grandma Kathy was here, as were many of the boys' young friends (we had 6 babies here under the age of 16 months!). It was an informal affair, with the main entertainment being a couple of boys with a couple slices of cake! Here's Jakey enjoying his first taste...

Robbie doesn't look so sure about all that frosting at first, but he got into it later :)

The next day, we got up super-early to catch a flight to Florida for Spring Break (visiting Grandpa Don and Grandma Jean in Lakeland). The boys were GREAT on the flight, despite our having to wake them up early, losing an hour the night before due to daylight savings, and then losing ANOTHER hour with the time zone change! With the following day being the boys' actual birthday, they were treated to yet another party. This time clean-up was easier -- we put the boys in the grass!

Robbie likes the chocolate frosting...

...but not as much as Jacob does!



And now for a couple of videos...
After the party at home, the boys treated mommy, daddy, and Grandma Kathy to a little "dance recital" -- thanks to the Hensleys for giving the boys such a great dance mix as a b-day gift :)
