Birthday Celebrations

Along with a lot of snow, January and the first couple days in February have brought us another year older.  Dan turned 32 on January 25, I turned 31 on February 1st, and February 2nd brought us 16" of snow. Whew!  As the busy mom of three, I didn't even shower on my birthday, but I asked Dan to take a photo of me and the kids anyway.  This is about as good as it gets:

And of course my little kitchen assistant helped bake Daddy's birthday cake again this year.  And she helped him blow out the candles....and eat it too.  Sydney chose red cake for Daddy so we tried that out for the first time -- delicious, but what a mess!

And is it even possible that this was only one year ago?!?  My "big girl," as she likes to be referred to, has changed SO much in the past 12 months.  Lately I haven't noticed as many changes in her...I think because the twins are growing and changing at such a rapid pace...but she really did grow up in 2010.  And she's already talking about when she turns 3, "after the babies' birthday."  Slow down, girl....PLEASE!
