Kelly Stafford Throws Paris-Themed Birthday Party for Daughters After Initially Canceling in Anger

Kelly Stafford put on a happy 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 eight-year-olds ❤️,” Kelly, 35, wrote via Instagram on Monday, March 31, toasting daughters Sawyer and Chandler’s special 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 girls’ party over the weekend even though they briefly canceled it as punishment for their recent actions.

The bash was a paint party where the girls 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 photo with 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 special day because they were misbehaving at home.

“I have two children — I’m not going to name their names — but they have decided that they run the world and that they know what’s best and they have all the attitude now,” Kelly said during the Thursday, March 27, episode of her “The Morning After” podcast. “I’m tired.”

Although Kelly didn’t explicitly identify her eldest daughters as 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 am an enforcer. I am probably the mean parent.”

She recalled, “Matthew has now turned also. We tried the ‘good cop, bad cop’ situation that we always are. Clearly, it’s not working because nothing has changed.”

As a result, Kelly revealed, “We told them, ‘Birthday party is off because we cannot honestly celebrate you guys right now just because of the way you’re behaving. We love you, but I don’t think you should have a celebration.’”

She confessed it was “a really hard decision to make” because it “hurts you as much as it hurts them.”

Despite being ready to cancel, Kelly said she and Matthew learned that they couldn’t “get our deposit back” for the venue, so they were forced to retract their statement.

“I had to tell them the party was back on,” she said. “I was like, ‘It is not because you changed your behavior. It is solely because Mommy and Daddy couldn’t get our money back.’”

Earlier this year, Kelly revealed that there have been a lot of parenting changes she’s had to face as her daughters have gotten a little older — including what to share on social media.

“I always told myself the minute they know what Instagram is, is the minute I have to figure something out. And my older ones know what it is,” Kelly exclusively told Us Weekly in February.

She noted that her twins’ friends have even started to follow her on Instagram, which isn’t something she anticipated.

“Our generation grew up in the weird time where we started to have [social media],” Kelly recalled. “But the generation before us, social media was new and their kids have it. But they don’t really know the pros and cons of it. But our generation knows what can happen and the dangers of it.”

The podcast host, who married Matthew in April 2015, confessed that while social media is a “tool” for her career, she can’t help but “fear for my kids” being online.

“That is a whole different ball game,” Kelly explained. “I pray that something happens to social media before they get to that point, even though I know it probably won’t.”
