Mara's 1st Birthday..

Mara turned 1.. Here she is blowing out her ice cream cone cake.. Delicious..

As you can see the girls enjoyed it..

And here is the birthday girl again..

Thanks for letting us celebrate with you Mara..

More Mara's Birthday..

Can you believe these two are 3 weeks apart..

The girls loved these cake cones..

Abe and Tali came to visit..

Here are all the girls ....

Gabriella and Tali played so nicely together..

Abe was such a gentleman pushing Ava on the swing..

Thanks for coming guys.. We hope to see you more in the future..

Gifts from the Green Isle..

Gabriella loved opening her present from Granny Ireland..

And Ava just loved posing in hers.. She absolutely loves this sweatshirt and tries to wear it every day..

New Stroller..

Gabriella was taking the new stroller for a test run..

And Ava insisted on pushing.. As you can see White Bear is in the other seat...

I Love Shoes..

Just like mommy these kids love shoes..

Gabriella came running to me and asked that I put this shoe on her other foot..It was hilarious..

I had no idea she would actually be able to walk in them..

She rocked them..

Gabriella Rocks these shoes

Daddy's lil boy..

Gabriella is going to do dady proud..

She is a typical boy and loves balls.. Take that how you wish..lol..

Making fun at home..

Bouncing around..

And cuddling with Dave..

Morning at the Zoo..

Cute pic of Ava bugs..

The twins feeding themselves.. Look at those amazing bottle feeders..

Gabriella was so stinkin cute.. She was soooo excited to see the animals oooing and ahhhhing the whole time.. It was very cute..

Mexican for Dinner.

Ava enjoyed sitting with daddy while..

Gabriellas favourite part was the fountain outside..

Gabriella's 1 Year Appt..

As we all expected Gabriella was off the charts.. But surprisingly enough she was exactly the same height and weight Ava was pretty much..Ava was 4oz's heavier but the same height..

26Ib's and 9oz's ..

31.5 inches tall...

Gabriella took her first steps at 10 mths and was walking no problems by 11 mths.. She is very willful and has no fear.. She doesnt talk very much just mama and dada.. Wuff is about the size of her vocabulary.. She likes to do anything Ava does and is pretty much Ava's shadow..

We love you little girl and look forward to the next year..

Home early to see the girls..

They were thrilled..

Mommys ever growing Belly..

Backyard fun..

Gabriella is just getting cuter.. Well I think so anyway..

And her favourite thing is chairs..

Pooped..

More rides and ice cream..

Boat rides

Baby girl loves the sand..

And they both played so nicely.. What an action packed day.. Both kids were pooped at the end of it all..

Ava was so brave going on the rides all by herself..

And she loved it..

Happy 1st Birthday Gabriella

On her new bouncy house..

Ava was a big helper opening the gifts as well..

Gabriellas reaction to gifts was a little less thrilling.. Lol!!

Happy Birthday sweetie.. You are one loved little girl..
