Addison and Caroline turned 2 on December 8th. What a joy these 2 years have been! Of course, those 2 years have not been without their twists and turns but I would consider it an overall joy to know these 2 little girls. It is an incredible journey to watch kids grow up and to know that you have a profound place in their life. It melts my heart every morning to see how excited they are to see me or Scott. I love the place we are right now with them. Every day seems to bring something new. They are learning new words at an incredible speed and speaking short sentences. They are both becoming more and more silly though you really only get to see it if there are not too many people around or if we are at church on a Wednesday night. I am thankful that one of the few places that they are comfortable in is at church. Addison tends to talk in silly voices and Caroline likes to make silly faces and dances. They like to sing and while we can't always understand the words they are singing we usually know what song because they can hold a tune. They both continue to be shy which is ok. I have learned to embrace this trait and have been thankful in many public situations for it. We are so thankful and blessed that they are in our lives.
Here are some pictures from their birthday:
Breakfast
Coloring their birthday crowns. They actually loved this more than I expected.

They loved brushing their teeth that morning for some reason

Birthday high fives!
A dinner treat, pizza!
I included this picture because this is the evil stare that Addison give to people sometimes and I can't believe Scott captured it! It is really creepy in person!!
Cheese! (Caroline)
They loved their birthday ice cream and blowing out their candles. Well, Caroline was able to blow them out and Addison was very close a few times.

Addison loved her ice cream.
We had a birthday party the following Saturday and here are their cakes. I want to be sure they each have their own special cake :) They did not enjoy having people sing Happy Birthday this time though :( Oh well.

ask your mom for sure (or maybe you even remember) but weren't you the shy sister too?
