TWO!

The twins had a great birthday with their family and friends and now they are two years old. Just like that. We celebrated with my family on Sunday, then on the actual day (Tuesday) it was slated to be just the three of us until J. got home from work. However, an early morning phone call from Tanya would change all that. She hopped in her car with Rowan (who is just a month younger than the twins) and drove four hours to be a part of her god-children's birthday. It made the twins' birthday even more fun and special.Chick and Pea were greeted with balloons and streamers when they woke for the day and while we waited for Tanya and Row-boat to arrive, they opened some gifts that J. and I had bought for them.

 I made the twins some very special cupcakes for their birthday and turned out really lovely!

Can you believe I resisted having one? Sigh...they looked so good.

So, all in all a very lovely birthday spent with the most important people in our lives.  My family and our friends are very important to us and the twins are so loved by them.

*A special thank you to Sherri who left a sweet comment on my last post.  Just when I start to think that no one is reading any more, someone leaves a nice message and it spurs me to continue.

  3. We ARE reading. Just lazy commenters. Or maybe that is just me. Anyway, I read because your kids are so unbelievably cute and because the joy you feel in mothering is very contagious.

  4. Love to see their little faces as they open their gifts and dive into the fun of the gift...and the wrapping!

    We are forever blessed to share in your lives!

  10. Simply adorable. Sunshine is sitting here looking at all the pics with me, which she loves if there are "babies" in the pics, and the second she saw the cupcakes she said "num, num."
