Danika is ONE

Danika had her first birthday! We headed to the aquarium on the day of her birthday. To make it more special than just a regular day at the aquarium, I took the kids to the aquarium restaurant. We got to eat next to the shark tank.




These two love the alligators!





Daxton favorite is the lobsters- but he always yells- Look mom the monsters!! I correct him everytime and I think he just think I am saying no they are monsters.

Devri near the sting rays!

She was so brave and touched so many this time. Daxton just acts like he is going too but then pulls out. But he loves touching the star fish.


It was a buffet so they loved getting little bits of everything.
Daxton ended up eating the clam chowder, shrimp dip and fish more than the kids food I had gotten him at first.
The waiter took our picture for me- I am sure he thought I was nuts running back and forth from the buffet with all our plates. We had to sit next to the sharks- so I found the closest table I could near the food but still next to the tank.


We got the chocolate cake for her birthday- but Danika wanted nothing of it- she would spit it out or turn away??!

We ended up celebrating her birthday with daddy the day after her actual birthday because I had to work that night.

I really like the matching outfits the girls are in-- Danika looks so cute in that bright blue! I can't believe she is already one.
