It's official...Sophia is 5 and Ashlyn is 2! How do they grow up so fast? I can't believe Sophia is 5...I remember being pregnant with her, I remember her delivery, our first week...first steps and words. All of these memories seem to rush to me at every birthday. And little Ashlyn...my baby... is not so baby any more! She has turned into this wonderful little girl that tries so desperately to keep up with her big sissy. She is impossible to be mad at and a joy to be around...I swear I have felt my heart stop and that lump in my throat form to let me know soon I will have to let them go...and I wondered if I could do it!
I will try to keep this balloon tradition going as long as possible they seem to love it! I love the screech of happiness and they amazement when they awake to a room full of balloons!
Here is the skinny on the chocolate teddy bears. I ordered some from etsy and needless to say chocolate packaged in a regular box melts ...therefore I had to pull out all of my creativity to make the bears...Toby and I were hard at work for two days to make these little bears...they didn't turn out too bad!
We ended up throwing their birthday parties together this year...thank goodness neither of them seemed to care! I thought for sure Sophia would have a fit, but she always seems to surprise me. I did do something special for each on "their day" which I think made a little difference. Plus there birthday drug out for a weekend. We celebrated a "friend" party and Build a Bear followed by a "family" party at Chucky Cheese. Toby and I were exhausted by the end of the day and I am grateful birthday's only come around once a year!
