Happy 4th Birthday!

It's hard to believe Rachel and Lydia are now four years old. They've grown so much over the last four years. They had a wonderful birthday and loved all the extra attention. Their favorite part of the celebration was a birthday party with their friends a few days before their birthday.

Our family four years ago

Just a couple weeks old- they connected from the start

Opening presents from their friends

The morning of their birthday- modeling their new
skirts I made for them (thanks to Sarah for the pattern)

Sitting at their new princess table

Playing in the snow- this was the biggest snowstorm
we've had since we've been here (pathetic, I know)
but the girls enjoyed the snow while the entire city
shut down for this "monstrous" couple of inches

Here's Lydia and Rachel by the house cake they
requested that I make for them this year.
