Happy First Birthday, Eileen and Margaret!

Believe it or not, our beautiful baby girls turned one last Saturday, February 11.  Eileen and Margaret were ready to party and it was a wonderful day of fun, tradition and celebration.

We started the day with the girls' first trip to the Pike Place Market.  Grandma Trish came along for the adventure and we visited Rachel the pig, had hot chocolate at the Cherry Street Coffeehouse, shared a couple of baskets of fish n chips and bought some tulips for the girls' birthday party.

Saturday afternoon our house was packed with family and close friends as we celebrated our birthday girls.  Eileen and Margaret loved being surrounded by all of their favorite people.

On Sunday the girls were lucky enough to have another party in their honor.  Sweet Grandma Cary threw a Valentine's Day tea party in honor of our little Valentine's, Eileen and Margaret.  Thank you so much, Grandma Cary!
