Goodbye 6, Hello 7!

The last of the six year old faces. . .



Hello seven. . .

 The girls woke up to presents.  This is the first time they have asked for dolls.  It is because they have an older sister who is very into American Girl Dolls.  The Target knock-offs were completely satisfactory for the twins.  They love their new dolls. 



After presents, we went bowling.  They both agreed that knockin' down pins was a great way to spend their day.  They were very cute!

 After bowling we went out to eat.  The waitstaff sang to them and loaded them up with birthday treats. 



 These girls are miracles.  They take my breath away when I think of the road they traveled to get to where they are today.  They will never fully understand the magnitude of their successful outcome but they are comprehending more each day.  For example, Lila thought it would be a good idea to wear their "baby shirts" on their birthday.  These shirts have their baby footprints and birth weights.  We wear them when we do the March of Dimes walk.  I thought Lila's idea was very fitting.  All day long I was reminded of how far they have come. 
 No birthday is complete without cake.  (Our camera was doing something weird with the candlelight.)
