Trains and Bunnies!

Today we celebrated Eli and Maddie's 8th Birthday with trains and bunnies! :)

This year was extra special because we had all four grandparents in town, which was such a fun way to celebrate a birthday. We had our usual traditions, where the kids came down the stairs to their chosen theme decorations, and we enjoyed breakfast before we opened presents.

Eli was really excited to get a few train-themed items and LEGO sets, but the highlight was the real train set! It came complete with engine smoke haha. 

Maddie received several bunny-themed items, but her highlight was a fun sewing kit from Aunt Lindsay! The fact that she has been able to sew her own animal stuffies has made for one really happy little girl :)

Most of the day was spent playing with their new toys, playing games, and enjoying the beautiful weather outside. And of course, we had cupcakes for dessert when we got to sing "happy birthday!" They chose to have breakfast for dinner, so we enjoyed Mickey waffles, sausage, bacon, and fruit, and then we rounded out the evening by watching family home movies of when they were born. Nothing like reminiscing back 8 years ago to when your life changed forever...

It was a fun day celebrating our favorite twins, and we were so happy to have Grandma and Papa, Granny and Grumpz here to celebrate with us too!

Happy Birthday, Eli and Maddie!
