Holy Crap I can't believe that it has been 15 years since I gave birth to these bright, spunky girls! The girls birthday fell on the same night as mutual this year. I didn't get to see much of them because of sports on their birthday but I did try to make it as special as I could for them. I asked the girls what they wanted to eat for their birthday. I try to make my kids their favorites every year. It is hard with having twins so I do the meals over 2 nights. Natalie got to pick. I thought at first that she said that she wanted Mexican Chili Casserole so when I went to the store to buy the ingredients for it. Because I was making Natalie's dinner I made Nichole's dessert which happened to be Mint Cake Pops. After I made the meal Natalie informed me that she had originally said that she wanted Mexican Chili Casserole and then changed her mind to Stromboli which I had forgotten. Oops. (The next day I made Nichole's meal which was shrimp Alfredo). Between sports practice and dinner the girls opened their gifts. Natalie got a dress, a skirt, a book, and a pillow from Nate and I. She got money from Grandma and Grandpa Musil and a shirt from Grandma and Grandpa Banks. Her friend Kaitlyn got her a new hat.
Nichole got a dress, a book, make up, and some tights from Nate and I. She got nail polish from Natalie, money from Grandpa and Grandma Musil, and a new shirt from Grandma and Grandpa Banks. Her friend Kaitlyn got her nail polish and a kitkat bar.
After presents we had dinner and they headed out the door to Young Women's. Where they taught the Activity day girls about the pioneer trek. The Young Women also sang to the girls! I hope that they had a great birthday.
Natalie is extremely good at math. She participates in flag football and track. She is friendly to everyone and is a good friend. She is funny, spontaneous, and giggly. She is a great helper around the house and very diligent about her studies. She has a love for the gospel that is deeply contagious.
Nichole is very creative but only likes to express her creativity through her own unique way she can not be stuffed into a box. She plays tennis and is catching on to it quite quickly. She is fun loving and tries to make the best out of every situation. She likes her space and to be alone. She is clumsy and spunky and hilarious. She knows how to bring a smile to peoples faces. She is willing to accept anyone. She has a strength in the gospel that is unwavering.
These two girls make me want to be a better person for them. I love you girls. You are amazing.
We played a couple jokes on my parents about the girls birthday. First when my mom called I handed Natalie the phone to answer. My mom asked for one of the girls not recognizing Natalie's voice. Natalie said just a second and put the phone down and just laughed and laughed. She then said Hello like she wasn't there the whole time. My parents then sung to her.
Next my mom asked to talk to Nichole but before Nichole could get on the phone My mom and dad started to sing to her. In the middle of the song Nichole said Hello? When they were done singing Nichole asked them if they started to sing to her before she was even on the phone. My mom felt bad and had my dad come back in and sing to Nichole even though really she only missed the first two words of the song.
Next when Natalie's package came from my parents she was at her football game so they had to wait for a response from her. I thought that it would be funny to send a picture of Nichole in the shirt instead of Natalie. I of course waited for Natalie to get home to open her present first. My parents then commented on just how cute Nichole Natalie looked in her shirt. When we told them it was the wrong girl they said that they thought something was wrong with the picture. Yep wrong kid!
