Ok, so now I'm 10 days past the girls' joint birthday party... I guess I haven't really had the happy emotion to share about it... but now, I do... so I'm sharing. Do you see the cake above? Isn't it wonderful? My amazing friend, Jayme, made the birthday cakes for the girls. She has a true gift in cake decorating!
Here are the party girls... Maggie & Samantha. Maggie had a fun time opening presents, eating cake, and people watching. Samantha was so excited about her new horse stuffed animal and trike! Mommy & Daddy were happy that the rain stopped and we were able to have the party outside.
It was a little chilly but the girls still got to go swimming for a little while. They both loved the little slide.
I was disappointed, because none of my invites showed up. Luckily, Brandon's friends (and mine too, I guess) showed up, and had fun, even though they are single, non parents! I kept my cool the day of the party, and much of the week after... then I met with my counselor, and had a break down. I cried. And cried some more. I'm feeling very alone here in Sioux Falls. I'm questioning myself, wondering if I did something wrong to these people. I'm just glad that my kids don't understand yet what party guests are, and had a great time regardless of the guest list.

I totally understand crying when no one shows up...sometimes it seems I have friends and then they don't show up-it can be a let down. So sorry, especially sorry that it happened for such an event like that. Cute birthday cake! Thanks for your comment on one of my posts! When I came across your blog and it said you were from SF-I thought it was crazy and then were both due around the same time! Even crazier!
Just saw your comment to my Preggo Monday...replied to you on my blog!

When I visited before I didn't realize that you lived so close! It is a small world!! I am an Avera girl for life :):)
So tell me how is it with 2 so close. This one will be 20 months apart from my youngest. I am used to 6 years and am freaking out a bit! :)
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
