Happy Birthday to our Twinkies!

Natalie and Samantha turned 9 today! Happy Birthday to our sweet girls! I told the girls stories tonight from when they were babies in the hospital and it just made me happy all over! And a little bit sad. They are growing up. Sometimes I wish we could freeze our little family just the way it is right now. Well, minus the fighting and bugging each other. Not too old, and not too young, but just right.

I just can't do the sleep over thing, and frankly I'm not sure if I will EVER be able to it. So Natalie and Samantha had a "late over" party on Saturday night. We had pizza, games, and a movie, then girls were picked up around 9:30. It was a little crazy but the girls had a great time. Greg prefers nice quiet evenings, so this really wasn't his cup of tea. He was a great errand boy for the party, photographer, and even helped the girls with a pinata in the back yard. All in all a very fun evening to celebrate our twinkies turning 9!

Happy Birthday to Natalie and Samantha. I remember talking to you shortly after they were born and I could hear your happiness and feel it through the phone! I agree, this is a fun age. I also want to freeze time. Also, I agree on the whole "sleep over" thing. Ellie has been invited to a few and we turn it into a "late over" and she loves it all the same. Looks like your girls and friends had a fantastic party.
