January 11th was our babies' first birthday! We celebrated (in bear cub style) by throwing them a party on the 12th, with 12 of their little friends(+ parents of course). We had a beautiful bear cake, plus two small smash cakes. I also cut cheese into bear shapes and we had teddy grahams, gummi bears and bear paws as well. All of the plates, cups and napkins were pink and blue with little bears on them.
Our babies had such a wonderful time playing with their friends, opening presents and smashing their cakes.
Hayden has been walking since November and Claire took her first couple of tentative steps just tonight. They're both chattering up a storm and Claire has been trying to repeat words like "dog, cat & love you". I think they will be talking soon. It has certainly been a big year for our family, and we're looking forward to the next one!
Lots of love from the Smeltz Family. <3
