So I survived the twins’ first birthday!  My boys now think that every day is their birthday!  Within three weeks time we celebrated their birthday, had a five day festival, threw their party, went on vacation… and now we’re back to the real world.

For the past thirteen years, my father has been the chairman for our church’s five day street fair each July.  When he found out my C-Section was scheduled for July 22 of last year, he panicked, as it was the day before the 2008 festival was to begin.  It all worked out well, the boys were born and the feast went off as planned.  But he did tell me while I was still in the hospital that the first day of the feast the following year would fall on their first birthday! 

We had birthday cake for the boys on that first night of the feast, their actual birthday.  There was a baby and toddler tent at the feast that had a petting zoo and costumed characters.  My dad got permission from the pastor to have the boy’s birthday party in that tent on the Saturday of the feast before the event actually opened.  The theme was a carnival theme, and their cake had a carnival tent and a small petting zoo on it (my aunts had made it).  As my boys names are Louis and Anthony, their small individual cakes were a Lion and a Tiger (Louie the Lion and Tony the Tiger).  And boy did they devour them!
