Hannah and Leah Turn 1

Last week our precious nieces turned 1. That seems almost impossible, as it feels like yesterday we were just meeting them in the hospital.

It so much fun to seem them grow. We joke almost every time we are all together about how the age gap between all the cousins is shrinking. The boys love to go and visit "hannahleah" as Walker usually says, although now in person he does know who is who. When we say Hannah to Eli he will respond with something that has an "L" sound, so we are pretty sure he is saying Leah.

We are so happy to have cousins so close in age and proximity for the boys to grow up with.

The girls were a little less than helpful with the present unwrapping.




Eli would like to know where his presents are.


Allyson made adorable smash cakes for them, but they just wouldn't do the smashing.


I made little tutus for the girls (thanks to my friend Lara who taught me how). I just had to try them on the girls. Eli had been my model at home, and it just doesn't have the same effect on a little boy. So after they were in their night gowns, we tied them on, and I think they looked pretty precious.
