A Week of Firsts....

This week marked a lot of "firsts" in our babies lives. I will go in order!

1) Lukas & Maddox spent their first week with their new nanny, Morgan.

We recently hired a new nanny and her name is Morgan. After interviewing her, we immediately felt that she was the perfect fit for our family. She is high energy, loving and fun. The twins immediately took to her and so have we. It also helps that we have several strange coincidences, such as she was born and raised around our home town in the Texas panhandle, she is an Aggie (WHOOP) and her Uncle is the OBGYN that delivered both of our nieces! It is a small world let me tell you and we are super happy to have her in our home!

2) Lukas & Maddox celebrated their 1st Birthday!

On Saturday (December 18th), we had a huge birthday party for Lukas and Maddox. Several of our friends and family were in attendance and we had a great time! My sister, Courtney, came down and helped me get ready for the event and my friend Missy made decorations and cupcakes and the cakes too! My great friend, Richard, helped cater the event and made tons of great food!

Lukas was "all boy" while digging into his cake, while Maddox took the cleaner route and licked icing off of a single finger. We are soo thankful for all our friends and family that made it out and brought us a plethora of wonderful gifts. Everything turned out perfectly and we enjoyed sharing this special day with the ones we love most!

3) Lukas & Maddox had their first haircut (or trim, I should say)

After all the excitement from the birthday party, we decided to kick back and relax on Sunday. Plus, the children wanted to play with EVERY single new toy they had received. My sister, Courtney, took the opportunity to give our sweet angels their first haircut. I call it a haircut, but it was a simple trim to cut off little ends and help shape the hair style so that it wasn't in their eyes and so that it can grow longer and fuller. It makes me happy that their first haircut was done by their Aunt CoCo. We are soo thankful that she came down to visit!

We have been busy and it doesn't look like much is going to slow down in our near future. This week we are headed to A-Town to celebrate Christmas (and birthday) with all of our family. We are super excited to share these special times with our family and can't wait to see everyone!
