There are certain rites of passage when you turn the “Big One” which include silly party hats, a first-ever slice of cake (preferably chocolate!) and a massive clean-up. It was no exception for these seriously sweet (even before the cake) twin sisters. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing these little pixies since they were three months old, and I’m always in awe of how fast and furious babies become infants become toddlers. It’s like you blink and they’re standing up and asking you for more juice, please.
I wish these little big girls many, many happy returns, and a second year full of wonder and joy and all good things. So glad I thought to get the family portrait pile-up *before* the cake was served — ha! Thanks again to our local interior design guru and hip-kids style maven Nancy Breslin and her lovely family for allowing me to catch all the fun and excitement that a first birthday brings!




















This mother and son are my new BFF’s! The fun started the minute we jumped out of our cars until we sped away with silly grins on our faces. Mr. E. has the best sense of humor of any 7 year-old I’ve ever met…
