Everett, Emmett and Emerson's first Birthday Party!!!

Before we left Texas we also had Everett, Emmett and Emerson's first birthday party. We wanted to make sure that we could celebrate with friends and family and figured that they would like to celebrate with them too. Our theme for the party was "Three little monkies swinging from a tree, teasing Mr. Alligator "Can't catch me"". It turned out really cute if I do say so myself.
The boys' cake. I had them do the coloring and added the figures myself

The party animals themselves. We had to contain them for awhile

Mathew and Krista

Here's baby cousin Max who is 20 days older than the boys

Our triplet friends who are 12 days older than the boys. We're really glad that they were able to make it and miss our playdates with them so much. It was so much fun having the 6 babies and the big brothers get together. Parks, Nora and Eva have a big brother Will who is the same age as Britton. Will and Britton had so much fun when we would get together and finally someone was there to play with them. For some reason I didn't get a picture of the two of them, probably because they were so busy running around playing

It was then time for cake. Here's a picture of the boys clean before the cake

Emmett

When we put the smash cakes in front of them, Everett was the first one to dig in

Emmett wasn't too sure at the beginning but it didn't take him long to figure it out

Emerson on the other hand was like "what is this thing?"

And then it was like he was asking "what am I supposed to do with it"

In the meantime, Everett and Emmett were stuffing their faces full of cake


and finally Emerson figured out that cake is DELICIOUS!

They were a disaster, but that's the whole point of a first birthday party



And then I had to figure out how to clean up three messy babies at a park. Luckily I was smart enough to bring a washcloth with me and there was plenty of water

The boys were exhausted after all the festivities

Poor Emmett was about to pass out

After the party ended we headed home for some naps and then we opened our presents
Emerson could hardly contain himself and had to get to the presents

The boys got a lot of great gifts some of which included bouncy balls, cute hooded towels, some cute outfits, books and gift cards. They had fun opening their presents and so did Britton
