Happy Birthday to my "two ladies!" They are night and day in their personalities, likes and dislikes, yet every night the end up sleeping next to each other in bed. I wanted to do a post for each of them with their birthday pictures through the years, but all of their birthday shots are together. So they will continue to share this, like so many things in life, until they decide to protest and demand equal separation:) These two girls are my first baby girls and I love them so much. They bring so much joy into our lives. We love their birth mothers who brought them to us and thank them each day for the privilege and blessing it is to have them in our home and to be their parents.

A snake cake and a fairy cake. Notice a theme...Grace comes up with something different that she likes each year and Courtney sticks with her love of princesses, barbie and fairies.
I love my snakey cake!
Pretty as her Princess Cake!
And mom, looking rather gray, pops in for a picture with the ladies.
