2nd Birthday Recap!

Madison and Lily had a (if I do say so myself) great 2nd Birthday! The entire weekend was full of fun, family, and friends!! Here's a short recap of the festivities!

Our birthday weekend started Saturday morning. My dad and I went to the park to set up before everyone got there. We had their party in the morning, which helped keep everyone cool (and in much better moods!). We had a Minnie Mouse theme, if you couldn't tell!

Minnie Mouse Cupcakes I made, thanks to inspiration from Pinterest!

Cakes made by Grammy!

When the girls arrived, they were in awe--it was Minnie Mouse Land, and they loved it!

Rocking Mouse ears!

Time for Cake!!

Happy Birthday to You!

Make a Wish!

Then, presents!!

It was great to see so many friends and family!!

On Sunday, the girls' actual birthday, we went to Crown Center! We went through the Dinosaur Exhibit, had lunch, and saw the fountains!

After Crown Center, it was time for more presents and ice cream!

Cheese!

Overall, it was a really GREAT weekend!! The girls (and Nate and I) are so blessed! 

Here's a fun look at Lily, Madison, and I on June 10 over the last 2 years!

I love my ladies!

Happy 2nd Birthday!

Ready or not, the twins are two years old today!! Most simply put, Madison and Lily are the most precious people in the world to me. I am continually amazed at how amazing they are, and at how much love they show to everyone. You can't have a bad day when you hear two little girls tell you that they love you. It melts my heart everyday. Their Daddy and I hope and pray that they grow up to be healthy and happy, because they have made us the happiest parents in the world!

Happy Birthday, to my Twin Princesses!!

Easter 2012

Easter has really become a major holiday for us since the girls were born. I guess I'll take any chance I get to spoil them...and so does everyone else!

Our Easter Extravaganza started with the Easter Bunny. Needless to say, they (especially Lily) weren't thrilled to sit on a gigantic rabbit and take a picture.

It's funny to compare that picture with last year. I'll never stop being amazed by how FAST they are growing!!

Our next stop was the first of two Easter Egg hunts. Our church put on this hunt, and had over 10,000 eggs! Luckily, they broke it up by age group, so we were just with other 0-2 year olds.

Lily was ready to grab some eggs!

So was Madison (she just wouldn't look at the camera)!

Madi waved to the Easter Bunny...

and Lily gave him a kiss!

Later that day, we had our own Easter Egg hunt. We invited my parents and cousin (who has twins of her own) over, and had a blast! Our backyard was perfect for hiding 85 (yes, I said 85) eggs!

A House Full of Kids!

Twins and more Twins!

The next day was Easter! After we got home from church, I made enchilada casserole (yum!) for my brother and our family. The girls also opened up their Easter baskets from the Easter Bunny!

To end the weekend, we headed to my in-laws house. Let's just say the weekend ending with a crash...a sugar crash, that is. The girls got WAY too much candy, brownies, and sweet treats, but they LOVED every minute of it!


Overall, I'd say our Easter weekend was a success!!
