Today we celebrated a momentous occaision: we turned TWO!! It's so hard to believe that just two years ago we were in the NICU growing strong and here we are today, rambunctious, crazy two-year olds! How time flies when you're too busy to notice that you've grown to be 8 times your original size!!
Our Dad and Mom decided to have a big party in the Frozen Tundra because we probably won't spend too many birthdays with our family here and boy, oh, boy did we have fun!! Because we love Mickey so much, our Mommy took the theme and ran with it:
The banner our Mommy made was a real show-stopper when you entered the party room:

She also took pics of us from the last year, enlarged them, and put them on Mickeys all over the room. It was fun for people we don't see very often to see what we were up to in the last year!
Our food spread was de-li-cious! We enjoyed Jimmy John's sandwiches, veggies, fruit, candy, and of course, CAKE!!
And here is our marvelous, ridiculously yummy cake. If you're in MN and looking for a cake, check out Miss Sara's Cakery--her work is AMAZING!
We were in LOVE with our cake and hated (only a little) to eat it!
And if you read this blog much, you know that no special occaision is complete without fancy outfits for us--Mommy did not disappoint! Tutus for the big TWO:
If you can't quite see it, our shirts had our names embroidered on them:
For party favors, Mommy got these delicious Mickey chocolate pops. Yum!
Mesmerized by the flame, Mom and Dad helped a little in the candle department:
Who needs party hats when you can wear Mickey ears?!
Mom brought out the big-guns for cake eating (art smocks for a bib), but with the fondant instead of buttercream frosting, we didn't even get too messy. But we sure enjoyed the delicious cake:
Elyse: When we opened presents, we were overwhelmed by everyone's generosity. We loved everything right away and wanted to play with it all. Unlike Felicity, however, I meticulously opened each present and even threw away the wrapping paper in the garbage. Felicity lived up to her nick name--when it came to presents she was the "FELICINATOR."
Our cousins helped us open each thing and we just loved celebrating our birthday with our family and wonderful friends here in the Frozen Tundra:
We are so grateful to every person who came to see us and celebrate our big birthday. It was the GREATEST birthday ever!!
