Beloved Birthday Babes

Happy 1st Birthday to our beautiful girls. It's been one heck of a year and worth every moment. We are so excited to start year number 2! We decided to take the girls to the Philadelphia Zoo. The weather was perfect and they really seemed to enjoy themselves.

The girls get strapped in for their first trip to the ZOO!
They loved to watch the monkeys

Ella the Rabbit & Nora the Carrot!
Nora checks out the goats (Ella was scared)
Our fam (Ella started dozing)
Extended Gaub family
The evening started out well...
...the girls in their bday bibs from Grandma Gaub

Everyone sings "Happy Birthday"
...then Ella has a meltdown (up late plus no nap at the zoo equals...)
Nora enjoys the grub
Aunt Heidi get the girls their first real Converse All Stars!



The girls get new dresses from Bruce & Wendy (Daddy's boss & wife)

As always, the best present of all--the wrapping!
