They Say It's Your Birthday!

A big HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY TO DREW AND BREE! 

As long as the kiddos are napping together for a few moments, I decided to drop in a blog entry instead of doing whatever I'm supposed to be doing - you know dishes, laundry, cooking, cleaning......showering!
We are having a very nice day so far. For starters, Drew woke me up just before the stroke of midnight. His norm is to awaken around 2:30 am, but I figure he knew he was officially one today and wanted to have me alongside. :) It was a quick pick up, hug and lay on the couch together to get Drew back to sleep, and then we were both back to bed.
Drew awoke again around 6 am. This is a little on the early side. But I got up and checked on him at that time. He was stirring, and I was too excited to wish him happy birthday to let him go back to sleep. Plus, this allowed Jim to see him before he was off to work.  Bree was still sleeping soundly in her crib. She really needs her sleep, so I didn't dare wake her.

We tried to hold out for Bree for breakfast, but Drew got up so early. At first, I really wanted them to have their birthday breakfast together. But on second thought, they do everything together. Part of the blessing and sometimes curse of being a twin. So, I decided they could each enjoy their birthday breakfast on their own.  Bree woke up shortly after Drew ate, around 7:30. Drew and I went into her room to greet her. Drew screeched in happiness (as he always does when we go to get sissy). She was her usual jovial self, equally happy to see us. I sang happy birthday to both of them, and Bree got up and had breakfast. Pancakes, sausage and fruit were on the menu. I almost forgot to mention, I ate after the twins. Bree seemed pretty interested in my breakfast, so I put her on my lap while I ate. I gave her some Cheerios to snack on. Well, she ate a few and then decided to feed the rest to me! Considerate, isn't she?!?
We're so happy to have made it to the big 1! We love you guys so much! Sure there is more fun on the way!
