My first mother's day weekend after having the twins, I can recall being very tired and overwhelmed trying to care for two newborns. The day would've just come and gone had it not been for my thoughtful husband who came up with a book about the twins first few months, which moved me to tears. We tried to make a nice dinner and and have a bottle of wine, but the twins had other plans and needless to say it was not relaxing in the least bit.
Oh what a difference a year makes. This year the twins slept until 8am (which is really not the norm, but very thoughtful of them). Hearing them both say mama just makes mother's day so much more real for me.
We spent the weekend going to parties and dinner and just enjoying some time as a family. We went to the park and kicked the soccer ball. Brynn is a natural, Alex still prefers to smell the flowers and eat mulch.
We went to Sarah's first birthday party and enjoyed the circus theme! Brynn loves the glasses that came with the party favor, so much so that she can't stop drooling.
We broke out the water table that was one of the twins' birthday presents. The sheer glee on their faces should give you a good idea of how much they loved it.
Leaving the water table did not go over well and a tantrum of epic proportions ensued (thank you brynnie). Luckily they were easily distracted by the house that danny built for them out of the box.
