For the triplet’s first birthday party I wanted to do something pretty special. Its not everyday you get to celebrate your babies first birthday – especially three of your babies at once!

We’re on the home stretch now, with just 2 weeks to go until we meet these beautiful babies of ours, and let me tell you – I am SO ready! And what passes the time better than a few laughs.
