Happy First Birthday Skylar and Alysha!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Skylar Grace!!! Happy 1st Birthday Alysha Joy!!!

What a FANTASTIC first birthday for Skylar and Alysha! Their birthday started with hearing their birthday message on 91.3 WCSG from Papa and Grandma Van Dam:

Skylar Grace and Alysha Joy, today is your first Birthday! How excited we were to find out that you were twins! Before you were born we called you our Baby Peace and Baby Joy. Our prayer for you then and now comes from Romans 13:15: " May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you will bubble over with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." We your Papa and Grandma Van Dam, along with your Dad and Mom, Scot and Melissa Van Dam, your grandparents Bill and Mary De Vree, your great grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins, all wish you a happy first birthday! We love you Skylar Grace and Alysha Joy! Happy First Birthday!

Grandma Van Dam came over to give the girls birthday hugs and played bumpy road, smooth road, ditch! I think Grandma got a leg workout!!! Later that day Aunt Sarah came over and gave the girls a bath so I could get a few things ready for the party! The girls' feet and hands were like prunes when they got out. In the afternoon the girls received a special phone call from Aunt Holly and their cousins, Mason and Colton. They sung Happy Birthday to Alysha and Skylar. Skylar and Alysha also received a special delivery from the Balder family, a butterfly balloon and a pink and purple gerbera daisy!!!
At four o'clock Aunt Heidi came over to play with Skylar and Alysha for an hour so I could finish getting ready for their birthday party. At 6:00 their birthday party started! We had dinner first and then opened gifts! It was fun watching them ripping the paper off the gifts. The girls received a lot of fun toys!!!
After all the gifts were opened we had cake. Alysha LOVED her cake. Skylar wanted nothing to do with her cake! She is a very picking eater, what girl does not love chocolate???
After Alysha was finished eating her cake we threw her in the tub. She was a mess!!!

The night ended with the girls getting a phone call from Papa Van Dam wishing them a Happy Birthday!
THANK YOU EVERYONE for making this day so special!!!
