Happy Birthday/Halloween

The girls first birthday came and went. We are still living in the TLF so it made it a little difficult to make and decorate a cake for each of them. I managed to do it without buring them too bad in the cruddy stove they have here, also since I had none of my cake decorating supplies, and the pans I used to cook the cakes in were pyrex storage containers, I think I did pretty good. Sorry it has taken so long to get pictures up. The internet here is so slow. Just uploading these pictures today I have to put one up, close the post, reopen it to edit it, then add another picture. It won't let me do them all at one sitting. Very frustrating.

Melody loved the new taste of cake right away while Bethany wanted to play with the icing. Once she got a taste though, she wanted more.

 They loved opening up their gifts. (those pictures will come later). They got some adorable bath toys from Auntie Michelle, some big girl cups and plates from Grandma Jutras, fancy dresses from Yay Yay, and ,I can't believe I did this, but Joe and I got them some noise maker toys. We hear the train noises all day long, hopefully they will at least learn how to sing the alphabet song from it.  I was going to take it back, but just take a look at their faces on the train. I just couldn't bring myself to take it away from them.

 For Halloween, I let Joe choose the outfits. Since the girls were just a couple months old, Joe has been singing and playing the Manah manah songfrom the Muppets to them. We desided since this might be the last year we can pick their outfits before they want to be princesses, we dressed them up the way daddy wanted them to be.
