As promised, here is video of Kate & Elle loving the new "Olivia-In-The-Box" that Daddy picked out for them. My favorite part? Elle saying "Daddy funny". Also, as a bonus - listen closely and you can hear me snort-laugh. You're welcome.
Back to smelling the delicious ribs that Tyler's smoking on the Egg today. A nice end to a fun weekend!

Kate & Elle are 2!
My, how time flies. 2 weeks ago, my sweet little stinkers turned 2! We celebrated with our family and a few friends. The girls were MUCH more interested in the actual gifts this year than the tissue paper! And apparently, they now believe that cake & ice cream is an everyday thing. Seriously. After every meal they say "Eat cake? Eat ice cream?". Granted, they did get it like 3 days in row after their birthday, so that could be partly our fault. :)
This last year has been amazing. The difference between Elle & Kate at 1 year old and Elle & Kate at 2 years old is astonishing. Last year? They weren't walking yet... This year? They are running at the speed of light. They are stringing their words together, they are developing their own unique sense of humor, they are learning so quickly and growing so fast and it is rather incredible to watch.
Here are a few words/phrases to describe the girls right now: jointly - the word I would use to describe them is: BUSY!
Elle - independent, focused, sassy, passionate, loving, likes to say "Amen" at the end of the blessing, enjoys singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, loves jumping & marching, when we put her to bed, will say "Night, night, Superstar".
Kate - sweet, sensitive, silly, fiery, makes Elle (and her parents) laugh so hard, calls herself "Baby Kate", would wear her sunglasses all the time if she could, loves building towers, snuggler
These 2 little girls keep me amazed, challenged, humbled and thankful. Here's to the Terrific Two's!

| Elle's turn! |

| The cake. Dora? Pretty much rocks their world. |
 |
| Enjoying cake & ice cream. Note use of spoon. |
 |
| Kate has cast the spoon aside in favor of her hand and is now in a "sugar trance". |
 |
| I believe she's still in the sugar trance here. Perhaps she's pretending her new Dora microphone is a scoop of ice cream. |
 |
| The new jack in the box. Cracks. them. up. I'll have to post video soon. |

| Daddy manning his station at the Big Green Egg. A welcome new addition to our family. :) |
