We're 4!!

This birthday is almost harder to believe than Abby's.......it's mind-blowing that it's been 4 years since Hannah and Griffin were born.  The time truly has flown by.  They are little people now and so much fun. I remember having a conversation with a mom who had 4 year old twins in Abby's preschool class when H&G were just 1 year old.  I asked her when it got easier.....she said when they are 4.  At the time that seemed SO FAR AWAY....and so depressing! But, here we are.  And she was right :-)

They had a great birthday today, opening presents first thing in the morning and having a birthday breakfast: Hannah wanted pancakes and Griff wanted Raisin Bran! Then it was off to the library (due to a rainy morning) and then Starbucks for their favorite treat, a pumpkin scone and "coffee" (water in a small coffee cup). Then we came back home and tried out the new scooter (Griff) and new roller skates (Hannah). They are going to need some practice!

After a dinner of pork tenderloin and ravioli, there was cake and ice cream. Uncle Don and Uncle Dave stopped by with more gifts, too. All in all, a very good day for the little monkeys.  Now I just need to figure out what to do with all this cake......the neighbors may be getting some slices tomorrow!

Just woke up.....can't believe all the gifts!

Notice my little shutter-bug in the background? She had to take pictures, too!

Hannah is totally into mermaids and loved her mermaid barbie
