Faking it is making it...

Ok so,

This Christmas should be quite an occasion. Last Christmas, I was knocked out in the hospital as the girls were being delivered via emergency C-section. After my 6-week stay in the hospital, I was hardly feeling festive. This year, however, the girls are healthy (well, as healthy as they can be in daycare) and it will be their first birthday. What? Yes, the Twincesses are turning 1!

And what do I have planned? Um, well, not much, got any suggestions? I have never known anyone born on Christmas let alone twins born on Christmas. I am at a loss. Thankfully, they won't really remember it but I hear that the first birthday is a photo-op that I may never live down! I need to stage something good! Luckily, I have already done a fairly good fake job with their 1st birthday studio photos. However, I had to bring in all my own props which was quite a task in itself! The final effect was sweet, though. The girls look like they are amidst a birthday tea party. In reality, the photographer had to shoot quickly before their next bout of hysteria.
It begs the question; how will the actual event go?...and is it really worth it? I'll let you know after Christmas...
