Happy 10th Birthday Emily and Erica

Happy 10th Birthday to our twins, Emily and Erica!!!

April 20th was their birthday

I don't have any baby pictures scanned in of the girls yet. But, I love this picture of them when they were 3 years old. I feel like the 6 weeks that I was in the hospital on bed rest with them lasted FOREVER! Then I look back on the last 10 years and it just flew by!
I told them a long time ago that they could have a sleepover birthday party when they turned 10 years old. Well, they didn't let me forget that I said that. So, we had a very fun sleepover birthday party on Friday night and Jacob's party the following day.
The girl's wanted to play "Minute to Win It" games. Here are a few pictures of some of the games that we played. "Dizzy Mummy" was David's favorite. I caught him a few weeks ago with a roll of toilet paper in his hands wanting to play.

This game you suck up an M&M onto a straw and have to put it into a different cup
This game you have to blow up a balloon and use your own hot air to blow cups off of the table.
"Johnny Applestack" was fun. Emily was very excited when she got 4 apples stacked.
Erica and Sara also got 4 apples. Sara almost got 5, but it fell right over.

This year instead of making 2 cakes, I made 1 very big cake. We always sing "Happy Birthday" two times and they each get their moment!
On their actual birthday they got to decorate their own cake. This is Emily's cake.

Happy Birthday!
