Second Annual Joint Birthday: A Golf PAR-TEE:

{*trying* to get caught up}

We celebrated our Summer babies with our Second Annual Joint Birthday. 

Last Year we made the decision to do their birthday celebration together because Steven would be gone for Crew's Birthday.  Being able to celebrate as a whole family is what we all wanted, so the Joint Birthday Celebration was born. Fast Forward an entire year later and Daddy would be gone yet again, this time for Charli's birthday. Charli mentioned very early on that she wanted to do another joint birthday because she really wanted daddy at her party. 

So three weeks after her actual birthday and just two days after he arrived home from Deployment, we celebrated! And we celebrated big! 

Before Charli had mentioned she wanted to do another birthday party with her brother, I had already decided on a Golf theme for Crew because he was turning 4, and "Crew is turning FOOOOORE" just had to happen! So once we all agreed that a joint celebration was happening I asked Charli if she was fine with a Golf themed party or if she wanted something else. She loved the golf idea {both Charli & Crew love playing golf which helped}, and I was excited that I didn't need to come up with something else! 

Their "PAR-TEE" was a hit and they loved every little detail I put into it! As did I! ;) I love making their birthdays extra special for them. I have been doing their traditional birthday mantel since their first birthdays and they love looking back at the photos I have captured of them from each month that has passed us by. I kept the food simple, did golf visors as party favors, we had putting greens in the backyard, and of course all the water activities {#FloridaSummerBirthdays}. 

But their {all of ours} favorite part of the entire celebration was having our family whole again! Getting to hear Daddy sing Happy Birthday to them face-to-face was everything! 

Everything & everyone else was just the perfect added bonus for them! They truly had the best birthday party and were the happiest I had seen them in a while! 

So thank you to every single person who could be here for them and to make their birthday celebration the best it could be! It truly meant the world to all of us!
