Turning Two!!!

The party and excitement is a few days away so we stay busy coloring, playing with dolls, and working in the kitchen during the early part of the week.




Cooking up a storm while still in their monkey pj's.

These darling little dolls are handmade by Aunt Jean from Iowa. She also made little miniature quilts for each doll with some of the same fabric that was used in quilts made for Chloe and Claire when they were born. Below in two of the pictures, Chloe is wrapping up one of the dolls and giving her a kiss. It was so precious to hear them both talking to their dolls on different occasions.






Here is a "self-portrait" that Claire took with Grandma's camera.


Claire and Chloe turned two on Friday but party time took place on Saturday. It was a fun, low-key time at a local pizza parlor. After pizza and salads they had their cupcakes and presents. During the week they had discussed their upcoming party several times. Chloe had told me that she was having pink cakes, "pesants and ice ceam". She also named everyone that she thought would be there and she was right on target as far as guests.



Yummmmmmmmmmm------











Here Claire is trying on her new fancy slippers.



Checking out a new book with her friend Katie.


Claire is bringing the two new doggies to put in the back of the new tricycle.

Chloe is checking out the tricycle with Katie's brother Matt and Claire is hanging on the back.


Matt, Katie, and their Mommy Jen, fancy up the tricycle with all the balloons.




And finally, Chloe is saying her good-byes. Here she is with Haley a good friend and next-door neighbor to Claire and Chloe.
We are looking forward to the next year as the twins continue to grow and change. We feel so blessed to be a part of their lives.
