Birthday Party

Aunt Jody made each of them a special flower cake!

Lots of fun new toys.

Ava has asked me many times since, "Am I still 4?"  This morning she said, "Who could I tell that I am 4?"  She is so proud. =)

SNOW!!

  The girls have been wishing for snow for a couple of months now.  Imagine their delight when I opened the windows this morning and the ground was covered!  Thanks to their Canadian cousins, they already had perfect winter gear to throw on.  

Ava is an awesome snowball maker and thrower!  She was pegging me all morning.

The snow was the perfect consistency to make a snowman.

Button eyes and nose and a pipe cleaner mouth.

Such fun!

Here's a picture of the snow we got last February:

Turning 4

These sweet girls turn 4 today!



Here are a few pictures from the day they came into this world:

Joel and the nurse trying to figure out if they were identical.  We didn't think they would be, but we didn't know for sure.

I was a tad bit drugged.

I remember Ava crying her little eyes out and Gracie being very calm.

Beautiful, perfect, and healthy.

Tiny.

Gorgeous.

Ava

Gracie

They are such blessings to me.  I am so, so thankful to have been blessed with twins.
