It's crazy to think we are 1/6 of the way (yep, I'm a math teacher) to kicking them out of the house, but we recently celebrated the 3rd birthday of Clare & Luke!
 |
1+2 = 3...Happy Birthday!! |
 |
Just look at how far they have come...three amazing years of growth! |
On their actual birthday, July 19, we were lucky to welcome Luke & Clare's great uncle and aunt into our home from California.
 |
We enjoyed a nice dinner, but pretty sure the thing the twins remember most are the cupcakes! |
 |
Happy 3, you 2! |
 |
Yummy, yummy!! |
 |
The twins enjoyed a special reading of their new book from great Aunt Tricia |
 |
Showing off their new 'Peppa' and 'Mickey' slippers |
The weekend after their birthday, the twins had a 'Dr. Seuss' themed 3rd birthday party attended by family and friends.
 |
Daddy and Papa spent a night getting 'crafty' in preparation |
 |
Dr. Seuss hats were donned by the young... |
 |
...and the old to get in the 'Seuss spirit'! |
 |
The twins enjoyed hanging out with all kinds of people (nice creepy photobomb, Papa) |
 |
Clare enjoyed a drink of the Yink's pink ink...I think! |
 |
The cakes were Seuss-themed as well |
 |
Did someone say cake?!? Can't wait to dig in!! (Neither can cousin Ben in the back as well) |
 |
Not sure a lot of cake was eaten, but the icing sure was a hit! |
 |
So were the lollipops, too!
|
 |
The twins allowed a quick family photo and then... |
 |
...it was time for presents! The twins started opening their gifts on the couch... |
 |
...then progressed to the floor... |
 |
...and later spilled into a second day (notice the wardrobe change)! |
 |
Whether it was a box filled with clothes, came with a card... |
 |
...created a funny disguise... |
 |
...was wrapped in a package almost their size... |
 |
...or was a present designed to be on wheels... |
