The Twins Turn Two!!!!!!!!

On May 26th, the boys turned two!  I still can't believe it...they are little boys!  We had a low key party for the boys that day.  I did go a little ballistic with balloons, though.  The boys are in love with balloons, so I got them each a two dozen balloon bouquet.  We had them set out and decorations up when the boys got up from their nap.  It was so fun to see their reactions!

Everything set up!

I decorated with their names spelled on balloons

The cupcakes...I thought they turned out cute!

Elina wore a party dress, too!

The boys got these balance bikes from my parents.  They are called Y Bikes and are so cool!

The boys liked their presents, but the balloons stole the show!

We had their favorites for dinner: spaghetti and meatballs and garlic bread.

And of course we sang "Happy Birthday!"

Brandt loved the frosting.  He would love to eat just frosting!

Break Time!!!!

Last week, the basement flooded. Again. It was the fourth time since we moved into it less than a year ago.  The first time it happened, we had some damage to our stuff, but since then, it's just been just a pain to clean up.  This time, however, the clean up jump started our packing!

Eric's mom was working so hard to vaccuum the water.  She also had little helpers.  I took this photo when she and her helpers needed to take a little break and laid down on the stairs.  This picture makes my heart happy.
