Start the Rewind...

So, nearly a MONTH ago, my sweeties had their birthdays! Yes! It was really cute how T just wanted to have one sweet friend over. So, that's what we did. T had a friend and B had a friend and they just played for hours. Well, T and her friend played, and B and her friend kind of followed them around, but I think everyone really had a good time! :) Thanks, friends (sorry, leave the names out for privacy purposes) for coming to play, and for the great presents! So thoughtful and sweet of you, and we are so glad you are part of our family of friends!!

The next day, we were lucky to have Grandma Deedie come visit and that's when we opened presents!! It was so sweet of her to come and hang out with us for the day. We enjoyed her company very much. Thanks for making the effort! The girls (and Sam and I) loved having you for their special day!

We opened presents and ended up getting lost on our way to our special birthday dinner (Mom should always get a map!!), but it worked out great, because we found a new place that we love! Panino's treated us very well, and we all left with full tummies and plenty of leftovers. Then we went to get Daddy's special surprise (this is a tradition we do every year--the girls each get a gift just from Daddy): a super-yummy vanilla cake with butter-cream frosting for our Princesses! The girls loved that the decorations were rings!

As for the rest of you, thank you for your calls, cards, gifts, and general love and well wishes. It was a good couple of days for everyone. I can't believe my girls are growing up so fast! :*)
