Kelly Stafford placed on a completely satisfied face while celebrating her and Matthew Stafford’s twin daughters’ birthdays with a Paris-themed party — despite wanting to cancel it days prior.
“We have now eight-year-olds ❤️,” Kelly, 35, wrote via Instagram on Monday, March 31, toasting daughters Sawyer and Chandler’s big day. “Love watching each of them grow individually while holding tight to their bond. It’s truly so special.”
Kelly’s post revealed that she and Matthew, 37, moved forward with the ladies’ party over the weekend despite the fact that they briefly canceled it as punishment for his or her recent actions.
The bash was a paint party where the ladies and their guests painted Eiffel Tower pictures and wore berets. The French-theme was also evident by the birthday girls’ matching Eiffel Tower T-shirts and cake toppers.
Kelly and Matthew’s two youngest daughters, Hunter, 6, and Tyler, 4, were also in attendance for the celebration and wore berets in a sweet family photo.
The Los Angeles Rams quarterback even got in on the fun, posing for a photograph with considered one of the twins while she had on an apron and held up her paintbrush.
Kelly previously revealed that Sawyer and Chandler’s event was in jeopardy days before their big day because they were misbehaving at home.
“I even have two children — I’m not going to call their names — but they’ve decided that they run the world and that they know what’s best and so they have all of the attitude now,” Kelly said through the Thursday, March 27, episode of her “The Morning After” podcast. “I’m drained.”
Although Kelly didn’t explicitly discover her eldest daughters because the culprits, she hinted at it. “This has been an ongoing thing for the last couple of months where the attitudes have come into play,” Kelly explained. “I’m struggling to parent it. I’m an enforcer. I’m probably the mean parent.”
She recalled, “Matthew has now turned also. We tried the ‘good cop, bad cop’ situation that we all the time are. Clearly, it’s not working because nothing has modified.”
In consequence, Kelly revealed, “We told them, ‘Celebration is off because we cannot truthfully have fun you guys at once simply because of the way in which you’re behaving. We love you, but I don’t think it’s best to have a celebration.’”
She confessed it was “a extremely hard decision to make” since it “hurts you as much because it hurts them.”
Despite being able to cancel, Kelly said she and Matthew learned that they couldn’t “get our deposit back” for the venue, in order that they were forced to retract their statement.
“I had to inform them the party was back on,” she said. “I used to be like, ‘It isn’t since you modified your behavior. It’s solely because Mommy and Daddy couldn’t get our a reimbursement.’”
Earlier this 12 months, Kelly revealed that there have been numerous parenting changes she’s needed to face as her daughters have gotten a bit older — including what to share on social media.
“I all the time told myself the minute they know what Instagram is, is the minute I even have to figure something out. And my older ones know what it’s,” Kelly exclusively told Us Weekly in February.
She noted that her twins’ friends have even began to follow her on Instagram, which isn’t something she anticipated.
“Our generation grew up within the weird time where we began to have [social media],” Kelly recalled. “However the generation before us, social media was latest and their kids have it. But they don’t really know the professionals and cons of it. But our generation knows what can occur and the hazards of it.”
The podcast host, who married Matthew in April 2015, confessed that while social media is a “tool” for her profession, she will be able to’t help but “fear for my kids” being online.
“That could be a whole different ball game,” Kelly explained. “I pray that something happens to social media before they get to that time, despite the fact that I realize it probably won’t.”
