Happy Birthday Girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Big 2

Today the girls turn 2! By now they were born and whisked away to the NICU and I was in recovery.

So far today has been very relaxing. They slept late, still catching up from their PJ, Pancake, & picture party. They had cereal, bananas, and a sausage biscuit for breakfast with OJ. For lunch they had chicken nuggets and carrots. They played outside on their brand new slide from Aunt Kendl and Uncle Brian and then watched Franklin and some other cartoons. They've also played with their new zoo and kitchen today. Eden wore her yellow dress from Presley and Pryscilla was in her adorable little asian dress I bought her not too long ago. It is so hot today in the upper 80's. Can't believe it's about to be Thanksgiving. Also, Kassi dropped off their birthday picture disk so I'm about to look at those after I finish catching up on Preemie Prints--scheduling photo sessions, typing donation letters, and working on getting calendars out. Brian and I are planning to take the girls out to dinner tonight to celebrate a little as a family. I feel so blessed to have my two healthy girls who are so full of energy and joy it's intoxicating. I love it. I love them!!

Their birthday party was a big hit. We had a few family members over and some local friends. It was very nice. All of the kids had pancakes with whipped cream, toppings, cherries, and sprinkles. Mom (Noni) was the cook, and that was so appreciated. Kendl & Jen were the photographers. We had a toddler table for the little ones to sit at and it was dressed up to look like a bed! Then we did gifts and Pryscilla sat with me most of the time while Eden was latched on to Noni. Eden was not her social butterfly self it seems the girls are pulling another switch on us!! The gifts were great here are some of the things they got:

A vintage play kitchen (Noni and KPaw), an activity table (PoPo and Nana), a slide and climber (Auntie K & Uncle B), a play zoo (mom and dadf), PJ's and pots and pans (Liam and Mrs. Melanie), bows (Melanie & Kenzi), aprons, chef hats, and mits (Jillian & Weston), aprons (Mema & Pepa), adorable clothes (Aunt Karen, Erin, and Cinco), a jr. tag reader (from Gregory and Mrs. Amirah and Mr. Greg), dress up clothes and baby things for their dolls (from the Roys), .... and personalized hooded bath towels (from Jen, Dean, and Ruby).
