Our Birthday Girls

Eliza and Liesel have celebrated another birthday. Liesel was born the day before Eliza turned one so they are our little Irish Twins. We had a great time celebrating their birthdays. We had a "Princess" party and it was grand. Daniel helped me put up streamers and balloons the night before and the girls loved it. At one point Eliza was jumping up and down and looking around and saying; "A princess party. Thank you for my princess party!" She loved it so much that in all of her prayers since she starts out "Heavenly Father, Thank you for my princess party..." It is a day we won't forget. Happy Birthday Eliza! I love you for your 100% attitude. What ever you do you do it with all of your energy and excitement. I remember when you were born Daniel looked up at me with excitement in his eyes and said "It's a girl. Jill we have a girl!" He was so excited and I was too. Since then you have been every bit as exciting. I am so happy you came to our family! We love you!
Happy Birthday Liesel! I love you for your tender spirit and your 'melt my heart' smile. From your surprise pregnancy to your 45 min labor and delivery to your dancing with Eliza today...everything about you was ready to be in a body and try new things. We are so happy that you were so eager to come to our family and for your desire to do all you can. We love you Liesel!
