Birthday

The girls birthday was the day before Thanksgiving this year, we celebrated by giving them their favorite dinner - hot dogs. Then Saturday we had our families over to help us celebrate and eat dessert. I didn't get too many pictures, it's a little hard to take pictures when we're hosting. They were excited to have everyone there at the same time since they're use to seeing one side of the family or the other. Thanks everyone for coming. group hug saying good bye. I heard Eliza asking people if they could live here.

Annie's friend made these cute tu-tu's, and they both had to go find their boots to wear with them. They've been wearing them a lot, and they think they have to take their shirts off when they wear them.

Earlier in the day, another new princess dress.

Most people's comments to us as the girls turn two is "can you believe it, hasn't it gone fast?" My answer is no, I can barely remember when they were born because it feels like it was so long ago. Not that it's been long and miserable, they continue to be pretty easy little girls (maybe knowing there is going to be another newborn in the house shortly makes us not dwell on them being babies too). They play together really well, and fight like all siblings do. When one of them is hurt or in trouble the other one always runs to get her a toy and her blanket. We see differences in their personalities, but if someone were to just spend a couple hours with them I think they would say they are really similar. Luckily they like similar toys and activities, and both like being outside, lately they want to go for hikes which has been fun. We get all bundled up and walk around our property and two of the neighbors property which is a lot of space to roam. It would be really hard if one always wanted to be inside and the other outside. They still love their babies, their night nights and playing dress up. Lately they've loved coloring with markers and playing with Legos. We're working on the potty training - Adie went this morning for the first time and she's so excited about it she's been sitting on there all morning trying to go more. Guess that's all for now, Adie is on the toilet and Eliza came out crying saying Adie pulled her hair. Adie is in there yelling "sorry Ziza, sorry Ziza"
