Twins turn 10!

At the ice skating rink:
The boys. L to R: Joshua, Benjamin, Daniel, Caleb, Andrew
The girls. L to R Isabelle, Abigail W., Abigail H.
Free birthday burgers at Red Robin. We did this on the Saturday after their birthday.
Daniel received the long-awaited pocket knife and gifts from siblings.
Abigail received a watch, a green trash can (her request) and gifts from siblings.

Their special day began with breakfast out with Dad. Then they came home for a family celebration, opening their presents. After lunch we picked up the guests for Abigail's slumber party. The girl's party activities included a movie, craft of painting canvas bags, games and culminated on Tuesday with a combined ice skating event with the boys. After ice skating, the girls were dropped off, and the boys were brought home. Like the girls, the boys also played games and watched a movie. In addition to that, the boys had an exploration adventure in the woods behind our house.

It is hard to believe they entered the world ten years ago as the tiny little peanuts they were. How thankful we are to Jesus for their ten years of life. We love you, Daniel and Abigail!
I couldn't let another day go by without getting Benjamin on video saying "hamburger". Here it is.
