Celebrating At Fairmont

Addi and Ellie were born a year apart, but in the same week. Each year we try to plan a special trip together to celebrate. This year we took the girls to Fairmont Hot Springs.

Grandma Bobbi, Grandpa Mark, Uncle Jake, Uncle Jack, Aunt Jessica and Aunt Jaci met us there for the party and an evening swim. Auntie Shelly, Roz, Ethan and Uncle Roger also joined us after dinner for an evening swim.

Always goofing with Papa.

We sang "Happy Birthday" to our sweet princess girls,
blew out the trick, re-lighting candles as fast as they could before the fire alarms went off!,
 ate cake and opened presents. 

They never let me forget that I am the oldest!
Jessica(15), Jaci (14), Sara (28), Me (30), Jack (16), Jake (21).
Moments like these I know Danny is all on our minds. Forever missed.

Below are pictures of Addi & Ellie on our first birthday celebration rendezvous  in Sheridan, Wyoming. On our trip to Sheridan Addi had just turned two and Ellie just turned one. They have been so close since the minute Ellie was born. When Sara brought Ellie home from the hospital Addi literally squealed with so much love, excitement and emotion for Ellie she shook.

We pulled into Sheridan sometime around 1 am. The girls played, wrestled and jumped on the bed until about 3 am. Addi would stick her finger in Ellie's mouth, Ellie would bite her, Addi would scream and they both would giggle so hard. Addi kept tackling Ellie, but somehow, every time Ellie ended up on top, pinning Addi --- some things never change!

 Whenever we get together the girls get matching jammies and this tradition was started on our first birthday trip. This year was no exception.
