Happy Birthday Babies!

Well, I had big plans for an over the top great Birthday Post on their birthday, but Mother Nature had a different plan!
Monday afternoon we got some pretty severe weather and we lost power and phone service! Thank goodness we got our power back in about two to three hours, but we weren’t so lucky with the phone/internet.  We were originally given a “Promised Resolution Date” of next Monday.  I knew I couldn’t make it that long without the internet or the phones, but knew I had to try!  Then at 8 am this morning I got a call from our technician that he was on his way! THANKS DOUG!
I thought about doing a slide show for the pictures, but I like them documented individually so I can print the blog post out and have each picture! So, with that said, I apologize for the massive amounts of pictures (thanks again Leighann!!) I’ve attached to this post! The party was such a blast, the company was excellent and we just thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and our children!22264 555 56 50 51         78944

53We had LOTS of special guests, but I think the Award for traveling the farthest with the most children goes too…….. The Lambe Quads 
We were SO happy to see them and SO wish we had their stroller!!!
So, I’m gonna go out on a major limb and try to identify these Identical Cutie Boys!!!

(Did I get it right, Kami?)
Thanks Big Pop & GiGi for bringing them to Mississippi to see us!
46 I have several posts ready to go (in my head that is!)
One is a few pictures of guests that Leighann captured.
One is my Birthday Tribute to my babies!!
One is my pre-party photo shoot pictures.

Then it will be time to start my individual posts for the babies on their Special Day (the day they were released from the NICU) (Thanks for that idea Moni)

Thanks for all the Birthday Wishes!!

Long time lurker, first time commenter. You did a bang up job on that party with all the coordination of colors with kids. That was great. I live in Philly, MS and want your contacts. haha! Who does your invitations, cakes, pictures, monogramming, outfit making, etc. Where in MS are you all. I know I should know this but I forgot and then the whole East Cent. thing threw me off!

Love you,
Jac
