Lu & Boo turn 2!!!

Happy Birthday Lauren and Brooklyn!

I cannot believe that our babies are 2! They have been such a wonderful addition to our family. 2 years ago we were shocked to find out we would be having 2 babies but now we can't imagine life without them. They have perfected being naughty and seem to enjoy ganging up on the rest of us, but they really love each other and are best friends. We often hear an hours worth of laughing on the baby monitor after we lay them down for a nap or at bedtime.

Lauren loves to mimic almost anything she hears, carry purses around, stroll her babies and likes to buckle her seat belt then raise her hands and yell "I did it!"

Brooklyn has quite the stubborn streak and is a girl that knows what she wants. She has a pair of Mom's high heels ready to wear at a moments notice and can giggle for hours while her Dad chases her around the house.

Brooklyn went to the doctor earlier that day on Sunday and had 2 ear infections. She didn't care much for her cupcake and just wanted to be held all day....poor little thing!

Katie, the best big sister, helped her blow out her candles.....and take care of her cupcake.
Our great friend Myriam was in town from New York and was able to celebrate with us! She got the girls the cutest dresses (which I LOVED) and sacks full of smarties (which they LOVED!)
Mike and Stacey's anniversary is the same day as the twin's birthday! We wanted them to feel special too, so we had a cake for them and a beautiful anniversary song. :)
KISS, KISS, KISS, KISS, KISS, KISS
They got the girls twin baby dolls!

On their actual birthday, Monday the 25th, we took them to Chuck E. Cheese to run wild.

The merry-go-round is always a hit!

Lauren loved giving baby Jonah a ride.....maybe too much!

Yay! Brooklyn was so patient to wait her turn. :)

Katie was so excited for the babies birthday! She REALLY wanted presents too and has convinced them to share all of their new toys.

And home for baths and 1 last present. We had to run and find the camera after we heard them in the other room helping themselves to the goodies.

On to another year. I really love this age and all the "newness" it brings. As much as I enjoy their independence it has started to make me just a bit sad that I might not be able to call them babies much longer. (smile/tear)

I love reading your blog and seeing pictures of your sweet girls. I didn't realize your twins are only 3 months younger than my baby girl.
Such a fun birthday. I love the initials on their dresses.
You are so creative.
