Happy Twinsday!

On Mother's Day, Taigen was so great in cooking me a wonderful meal: beef tips and noodles, homemade rolls and shortbread cookies. It was all delicious. I didn't have to lift a finger the whole day! I was completely spoiled rotten.

During our dinner, Marshall and Shaylen launched into a discussion about how there is a day for Mothers and Fathers, but nothing for kids. There was no hint of whining or complaining...just them thinking out loud. Taigen and I said, "We should have a Twinsday!" We decided that we would make the first-ever Twinsday on the twins' half-birthday, June 5th. We made plans.

Well, as many of you know, plans get changed and we weren't actually able to celebrate Twinsday to its fullest on Sunday, June 5th because we had missionaries in our home (more on them later), so we celebrated on Monday, June 6th. We let them pick breakfast (chocolate chip pancakes), lunch (homemade pizza), dinner (grilled chicken caesar salad and croissants) and desserts (frosted shortbread cookies). They were thrilled...and just like Mother's Day and Father's Day, there were cards and a small gift.

It was so much fun to set the day aside to let Marshall and Shaylen know that we are thankful for them and love them so much. It is such a wonderful and special thing to have twins and I wouldn't want it any other way.
