I knew they wouldn't remember it, but I wanted to make sure we marked their birthday in some fashion. Truth be told, I figured a little photo evidence of a birthday celebration would keep me from earning lame mom status years from now when we pull out the baby books.... oh wait, we don't have baby books. See what I mean!
Our first attempt at a birthday bash was foiled by a family run of the stomach flu.
We had more success the following weekend. John texted invites to friends late on Saturday. We headed up to Bogus Basin for a ski party early Sunday. Friends actually joined us. Some brought balloons. Everyone sang Happy Birthday. I made cupcakes. They looked awesome. And then... Cate got snapped in the face with the party hat elastic. The girls were hungry. And tired. They were crying and I wanted to be. And there was too much light for the photos.
This is the best we could do for photographic evidence...
Not ideal, but it will have to do.
Thankfully, things improved when we hit the ski trail.
Happy Birthday, Cate and Lela!!
