Our First Birthday Party

Last Saturday, we celebrated Elizabeth and Mary Charlotte's first birthday in the club house that's located in our town home community. It was a great time to be with family! We are so thankful to have so many loving family members to celebrate special times and to watch our girls grow! We ate taco and potato soup with chicken salad, quiche, corn muffins, cream puffs, french cookies, lemon cookies, brownie bites, and of course, cupcakes!  Elizabeth was a little hesitant with her smash cake, but Mary Charlotte dove right in! We opened lots of wonderful gifts and enjoyed being together and celebrating these baby girls! It was a day they will not remember, but Jason and I will never forget! So here's to an ugly Dora cake and a simple party with cardboard hats next year! Ha!

Love and Hugs from Nashville!

We were a little scared about the roads, but it turned out to be a beautiful day!

Love these middle Tennessee hills!


We used antique flower vases from my great grandmother, Eula.


The antique handkerchiefs belonged to Doc Bloomingburg's mother, Mrs. Mary.

We loved the chalks and plan to use them in a playroom or a bedroom later on. 

Watch us grow! From two weeks to twelve months!

Thank you, Jess and AC for helping!
