Happy 1st Birthday Mia & Jacob!!!

On the morning of Mia and Jacob's 1st Birthday we headed out to Goofys Kitchen at the Disneyland Resort to start their special day off eating breakfast with Goofy & Friends. Jacob and Mia had the best time ever, laughing and squealing all through breakfast. Everytime they would put something else in their mouth to eat another "friend" would sit with us at our table. They LOVED every minute of it, no hesitation or fear at all. In fact Mia wanted to share her breakfast with all of them and Jacob wanted to rub noses and heads with all of them. So sweet!!! Our day couldnt have been any more perfect. After breakfast we strolled down to the Disneyland and the kids napped for over an hour, I guess all that activity at breakfast wore them out. When they woke up we were in Disneyland and went on a few rides had lunch and then headed home for a long afternoon nap. Where else better to celebrate this special day then the happiest place on earth!!

A day in the life of Twins.....

They have turned our highchairs into walkers..even with all the brakes on!

Digital Scrapbooking!!

Do you like the new blog header?? I am so proud of myself, I have finally conquered the world of digital scrapbooking. I have scrapbooked for years and years and was so intimidated to try digital scrapbooking.. so on my day off today I conquered my fear and just went for it....while the babies were sleeping of course :) I am addicted now I love it!!! Now that I have mastered, layering, shadowing, erasing and playing with all these tools on my photoshop elements I can't wait to do more.

I'll be back to post 11 month pics of Mia and Jacob!!! Can you believe they are going to be one in less than 3 weeks! One of my friends has a countdown on her blog to her twins first birthday, I can't bring myself to do it...I'm definitely in denial :)

Merry Christmas!!!

I can't believe that its the end of the day and the babies have had their 1st Christmas!!! What a year of miracles it has been. Last night I was reading my prayer journal from exactly one year ago on Christmas Eve. I had just been released from the hospital home on strict bedrest. Our doctor was not optimistic that we would be able to make it even close to full term so we were doing everything we could possibly do to deliver healthy babies and at the top of that list was prayer!! As I was journaling last night about our first Christmas Eve with Jacob and Mia I was in such awe of God's amazing plan that it was hard to even journal at all, where was I going to begin? One year ago I was laying the desires of my heart at the feet of Jesus, putting the babies in His hands and just taking one day at a time and then here we are 1 year later with the most beautiful precious babies of our life sleeping quietly in the next room, only hours to wake up to a room full of laughter, giggles, "mama" and "daaaadeee". I am humbled by His goodness, His grace and His mercy!!

Here is our family picture from Christmas Eve!!
