Hello friends and family! I'm adding a few more of you onto my list for this e-mail because in addition to my scrapbook pages we have another fun announcement! Daniel and I are expecting! At the 9 week ultrasound, the doctor asked Daniel what was unique about the ultrasound...it took him about 40 seconds to identify it, see if it takes you less time:
That's right, twins! Due December 25th. We are very excited and a tad bit scared, but really looking forward to the little ones joining our family soon. We are now at about 13 weeks, so past first trimester though I don't feel it. The latest picture shows them a whole lot better (you can see fingers and elbows and diaphragms), but they were too big to get together in one good shot. We'll keep you posted!
Enjoy the following scrapbook pages...the family put together such an incredible birthday party I couldn't resist putting together some pages for it. Enjoy!
Victoria had a fantastic 3rd birthday! Her cousin Zack had just turned 5, so they had a combined pirate/Diego party (Victoria chose the Diego). Grandma Ellison created a treasure hunt. The children followed maps all around the neighborhood, finding surprises, saving a monkey and finally arming themselves with water balloon cannon balls! Then they saved the pirate ship made by Aunt Noel and Uncle Nate from the evil pirates and won the piñata treasure inside! They all enjoyed animal cupcakes made by Aunt Noel that decorated the Diego cake made by Mommy and Aunt Tina.
Victoria LOVED her cake, with the last minute addition of My Little Pony. She got MANY presents from a large, loving, family. Favorites included clothes, Rapunzel playdough and the Diego doll and ponies that slept beside her in the crib Mommy fixed up for her... which held a note announcing she would be a big sister!
Nancy loved celebrating with her sister and playing pirates with her cousin Zack. He is always the gentleman and carried the heavy treasure for her. She was the official map reader on the treasure hunt, and the fastest to run from clue to clue. She also really liked finding out she was going to get a new brother or sister!
