Our Day of Firsts!

On our First Birthday, 1/30/08, we did lots of things for the first time! We all took off work and Day Care for the day to celebrate!
Here's the before picture at the Barber Shop!

And Cade being so good while getting his first hair cut!
And Carson with the comb during his first haircut!

Rodney did a great job cutting their hair! He had envelopes ready for us to catch the hair, combs for them to hold while they sat so still, and suckers for the boys when it was all over. And he even gave them cute certificates for good conduct during a first hair cut! Here's Cade then Carson with their first suckers!

I knew they'd be good - but they sat so still and just watched him in the mirror! He said it was the best any baby had done - and there were 2 of course!

Well, they weren't so happy with us for taking away the suckers they were just given, so the after picture had to be snapped really quickly!

Then we had First Birthday pictures made at Olan Mills and even had individual pictures made since we're one year old now!

Lunch at Chick-Fil-A was a lot of fun with their first balloons on strings!

They also had their first ice cream - which they loved! I thought it would be too cold for them, but I guess since they drink cold whole milk now they should like ice cream!

Here's a picture of the boys riding in Daddy's big truck in the big boy carseats for the first legal day! They did test them out twice before now!

And here's the boys when we went out to play at home after going shopping at the StrideRite outlet for their first pairs of new tennis shoes!

And here we are back at home playing! Don't these babies look like little grown men now with their haircuts and big boy tennis shoes!

Here's Daddy giving the boys their birthday presents!

They are intrigued!

Cade is impressed, but Carson wants something he can play with!

They boys are ready for bed! We praise the Lord that they're one!

Here's the train cupcakes we made for their party at Day Care!

Here's the boys after their one year old check up the next day! They each weigh almost 21 pounds! The shots were awful painful this time, but the sweet receptionist gave them stickers and they were fine!

Here's Carson with GGD Bob who's in town for the big birthday party!

And here's Carson loving his Papa!

GGM Viv and Nana love to hold Cade and Carson, too! We're all getting very excited about the big party!
