Its my party and Ill eat frosting if I want to

This weekend we had a small get together to celebrate the twins 2nd birthday.  They had so much fun ooohing and ahhing over everything and everyone that attended.

Dont they look A LOT alike in this picture, weird

For some reason he was scared when the lion growled.  After awhile he got used to it and wouldnt get off of it.

Of course, there were lots of presents.
They particularly liked the dancing pizza Elmo.  Its creepy.  The pizza has a face and it sings.  Elyse is now running around the house yelling "Yummy yummy pizza pizza"  "Dance elmo dance"  Its super cute, but it is still creepy.

She got a baby stroller, which she would NOT let out of her sight and immediately put her baby inside of it to take her for a walk.

Cole was in aww of all the books he got to open.  Especially the Spongebob book and the hippo book.  He would not let go of any of them.

Most of all, they liked their cars.  They drove them all over the house and kept running into the walls.  Guess who else got to take a ride?

Thats right, her baby and his puppy.  They had to join in the fun.

Next it was time for cake.

They LOVE Elmo so we figured it be easy enough to do.  They blew out their candles and dug into their cakes.

And by dug in, I mean ate only the frosting.  I tired to feed her a bite in which she responded with "No mommy, I can do it myself"  She turned into a 5 year old in two seconds.

She looks like a clown.

He is on a major sugar high.

Happy Birthday Babies

8 years already?

Im a little behind because of Christmas, but I hope to catch up pretty quickly.

On December 21, 2002 we were married.  (That sounds retarded but I dont know another way to say it)  I cant believe that the time has flown by so quickly.  It seems not that long ago, its flown by.

Because we our Anniversary is so close to Christmas, we decided  (well I did) that we do not gifts, per say.  Instead of random gifts, we go by the traditional wedding gifts.  This website is what we usually go by, but most lists are the same, give or tack.

This year, number 8, was bronze/pottery.  HARD  Doesnt seem that way but think bout it. He doesnt garden, any cooking appliance would be used by me and he does NOT want to go throw clay with me.  (Apparently its only a girl thing to want to re-enact the scene out of Ghost)

So heres what I did.  I bought a pot and some seeds.  He always says he wants to grow herbs....well there you go.  Done and Done. 

He got me a gift certificate to go to a ladys night to throw pots and get a massage.  (Told you he didnt want to go, but I do so he got it for me)  Hes always good at gifts, I suck most of the time.

In addition to these gifts, we go out to eat.  THEN he surprised me by a whole lot.

We went out to eat and ate dessert.  Cheesecake, come on I cant say no to cheesecake.

Then we went to ALOFT, which is a hotel like the W but not as pricey.

The Bar

Looks Tasty

The Bed

The Sink

(Not sure what my deal with sinks is, but I like this one)

THEN he secluded massages.

Oh yea, that happened.

He did good.
