Happy Birthday: Laura & Linda

Yesterday, Lou and I hosted my twin sisters' 5X? birthday party.

Because they were born in October, many, many years ago, we went with a Fall/Halloween theme.

 

We had the family over and celebrated with lots of good treats. In honor of us older folks, our background movie was " The Ghost and Mr. Chicken."

The girls always want candles for their birthday presents, and they got plenty of them. I imagine each girl had about 10 lbs. of candles!

My sisters usually have lots of "inside" jokes and stories that they share between themselves. The shirt that Linda gave Laura indicates that below.

Of course the girls are a little older now, so it was fun to watch them whip out their "readers" when it came time to read their birthday cards.

Mom was there looking as good as usual. Jeremy is her buddy and is making sure she doesn't eat too many snacks so she will have room for ice cream.

We had an abundant amount of birthday desserts-a chocolate decorator cake, a lemon meringue pie, and a chocolate trifle. Needless to say, everyone was very full when we finished.

It has been awhile since we have all been together, so it really was a special time. The most priceless picture of the night is shared below. The girls are reacting to the fact that they are a year older!
