The past two years have been wonderful, and I love being a mom to these two, I feel so fortunate to get to be their mother. It's been the greatest experience of my life.
Here are a couple of pictures I took shortly after they were born and in NICU.

Grandma made their cake this year.
These are their cupcakes for daycare...
Their main present was the swing set and swimming pool, which I gave them early so they could enjoy it the whole summer. So I bought just a few token gifts for the actual birthday.
I picked up a pizza after work for their birthday. Last year we had a huge party and I invited everyone under the sun--it was great and thanks to all who were here last year! This year it was low key and just us and Grandma and Grandpa in their kitchen, with pizza, cake/ice cream, and opening gifts in the living room.
We lit two candles and sang Happy Birthday. I got some good footage on the camcorder.
They LOVE cake and ice cream, of course. I saw a big difference from last year when they got cake all in their hair, all over their clothes, etc.
The portion was a little too generous, as later they were on a sugar high and I had to let them run it off outisde for awhile. As mom said, "I think we need to take out a battery."
Despite their (too) generous portions, Lm cried at the last bite because he wanted more ice cream.
He quickly got over it after I cleaned him up, and was playing with his hat...

And it was on to opening presents...
They also got some nice things from Grandma and Grandpa, including books and a huge float for their swimming pool in the shape of a car.
All in all, a great birthday for my guys! I had wanted to take the day off work to take them to the zoo or something, but it was impossible work-wise, plus I'm taking them to the local kids parade Friday. They were so excited from their birthday that Lk crashed at his bed time right away. But Lm wanted his birthday to go on ad infinitum. I couldn't get him to go to sleep until 9:30! (bedtime: 8pm).
Lk is opening it here...THAT should be a trip this weekend when we try it in the pool.
