Happy Easter

I hope all of you had a wonderful Easter...

He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. ~Isaiah 53:5

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
~Romans 5:8

Jesus said unto her, "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." ~John 11:25&26

Birthday Pictures *Updated*

It's been about a month since the twins birthday, so I figured I really need to post some pictures! I've had computer difficulties and basically didn't want to deal with it, but if I don't post some now, I'll end up waiting til their next birthday ;) It's now or never!

I found some cute pics on my phone from the day of their birthday, Feb. 26:

Being silly :)

We made some cupcakes to share with our friends...

 ...and met them at McDonald's for a birthday lunch:

 We are blessed to have such great friends!

Looking at these pictures, the twins just seem so grown up! *sigh*

Moving on!

Party day with the family:

  Isaac had a Hobbit themed cake. The m&m's are supposed to be Smaug's flames.

 Savannah had a Barbie/Ballerina cake.

 Singing "Happy Birthday" ~

 Savannah is still listening but Isaac is gearing up to blow out the candle.

Some of the party guests:

 MiMi and Gavin ~

 MiMi and Noah ~

 Opening presents...

 The twins are seven!

Thank you to everyone who celebrated Isaac and Savannah's birthday with us!! You made this day very special for them, and they will talk about it until next year I'm sure ;)  And thank you so much for the many many presents, they are enjoying all of their new goodies!

We love y'all!

Lately...

Just a random picture dump from the iPhone:

 The twins woke me this morning to give me this valentine. "Happy Valenhines Day." :) :) :)

 Playing with the cousins... The boy in the middle (Gavin), turns 9 tomorrow! Happy Birthday Gavin!! We love you!

Playing in the snow... The other night Isaac decided to shave so he could grow a beard. Or so he told me when I saw the cut on his chin. This beard hat will have to do for now! He's a handsome kid, with or without his beard ;)

 Pretty girl :) Can't believe they're almost seven!

 I'm happy we got a little bit of snow this week...

Happy "Valenhines" Day!
