On Saturday we had a combined birthday party for Ella and Amelie. It was a lot of fun. The girls ate cake, opened presents, played, and best of all, good friends (other then the babies) got together. Even though Ella's birthday was over 2 weeks ago I still can't help but get sentimental over all the milestones that were reached in the past year. The best part is ,the girls have reached them together. That means Amy and I have had each other to lean on through the thick and thin of parenting. I feel very fourtunate that we have good friends that we can share our parenting joys and woes with together. So even though it was a "Birthday Party" I feel it was more a celebration for the parents. In my mind the party was called, " I got through the first year party!". To be honest, I wasn't sure I could be a good mom. My doubts grew even more when Ben and I first got Baxter and he sprained his paw because he jumped out of our arms on night after getting a bath. I remember crying to Ben " How will I ever take care of a baby if I can't even take care of a dog?". But just 4 years later we have Ella ,who is a healthy and happy baby. No sprains or brakes..... YET! (She is part Ben so Im not saying it won't happen some day) So Happy Birthday Amelie and Ella. Congratulations Roebers and Glanvilles on a job well done. I can't wait to see what this year brings!! I will post more birthday party pics tmw! ;)
