Rachel and Lydia turn 8!

Lydia and Rachel had a great eighth birthday!  It's so cliche to say it, but time really does fly!  It seems like just yesterday that life was like this:

Somehow time continues to march on though, and they keep growing up!  They had a party with friends this year to celebrate.  They absolutely love fairies so we planned a fairy-themed party for them.

Flower cupcakes- so easy!  The petals are Swedish fish!

Lots of friends!

We held their friend party before their actual birthday.  They spent the day of their birthday just enjoying being the stars of the day!

New rollerblades

I made them a Neapolitan Rose Cake.

Yum!

We are so grateful to have these kiddos in our family.  I can't imagine getting them one at a time- they were meant to come as a two-some!  We love you girls!
