Celebrating Four | HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

“Happy Birthday, Bray and Addy!”

He is all boy.  She is all girl.  They are the best of friends.  They play hard.  Fight hard.  Love hard.  They have a special bond that leaves me in awe.  He is wicked smart.  She is beyond her years mature.  They both adore learning, dancing, singing and life.  Their smiles and laughter melt my heart.

Four years ago today….our world and life forever changed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This past weekend we celebrated THEM!  Complete with the world’s best birthday cakes (Cake Lady Jill…you are all inspiring and the best!), a visit from Rapunzel + Lightening McQueen (thank you so much, Wish Upon a Star Events), the most delicious Carolina BBQ (Mac’s ROCKS – thank you, JEFF!!), the cutest little linens you’ve ever seen (Party Reflections…thank you, Sarah!), a great big-ole moonbounce and our closest friends and family…it WAS the perfect weekend!

Happy Birthday, Bray and Addy!  We love you so!

Flashback – Year Three!

 And because no moon bounce experience is fun without a little licking, I couldn’t help but share this not-so-pretty moment…  ~xo

Celebrating Four | Addy’s 1st Recital

August 30, 2011 Posted in Personal

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
‘Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don’t want to miss even one song
‘Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she’ll be gone…

This week is all about celebrating the birth and life of my most prized possessions.  My greatest treasures.  My gifts from the Lord.  My Addy and my Bray.  Today they turn FOUR!  And while I’m working on a small little post of their big weekend, I first wanted to share something very special that my Dad put together for our family.  He is the GREATEST!!

“Addy-bean…I love you beyond measure, Princess!!”  ~Mommy

Thank you to Auntie Lindsey for the yummy princess treats and hair + makeup styling.  And to Auntie Tiffany for the precious mani!

 



 

And I couldn’t resist sharing this classic Addy face!

Celebrating FOUR | PARTY DAY!

“I want to pause life.  Pause this moment.  Sit on the couch with a cuddly blanket, stare at the time, and let it permanently embed into my mind so that I never forget.

The laughter.  The happiness.  The tenderness.  The joy.”

“Where in the world does the time go?” 

Today we celebrate four years.  Four magical years.

Happy Birthday Week, Bray and Addy!
