My babies are growing up!

I cannot believe it is already time to plan birthday parties! It seems like just a few short moments ago Max was born and 2 weeks later, Katie celebrated her 2nd birthday. Now here I am just days from Max's first birthday. Time to plan the party! From the moment we knew we were expecting and due in March, I was immediately excited for the idea of joint birthday parties. Double the fun, double the budget and our friends and family do not have to make time twice in just a few weeks. Seems like a win win. All year long I have been mentally planning an under the sea party. Katie loves mermaids, and the ocean seemed fun and gender neutral. Though I have already even prepared some items for this theme, I recently choose to save it for next year and go with something more in the now: Curious George! This has been Katie's favorite show for months, actually it is one we all enjoy. Even since Max started walking he has been our little monkey. He is a climber, and a mover and a shaker. He is our very own George. I figured that by the time she is 4, Curious George would seem like a "boy" party theme, so the time is clearly now. I am excited with this choice because I know it is something that is relevant for both children. My long time dear friend Lauren made these adorable invitations. She is so talented! Invitations are out, bounce house has been rented. More party details to follow!
