Seven!!!

Today we turned seven!!!  We woke up ready to party and quickly exchanged gifts with each other.  We both spent a lot of time with Mom last weekend picking out the perfect gifts for each other, and I think we both succeeded.  We then celebrated with friends all day at school, and this was just the beginning as we have an entire weekend of fun planned!  Mom and Dad joined us at the end of the day and brought in ice cream cups for us to share with our friends.  Lily's class sang Happy Birthday to her and everyone in her class made her cards.  Her teacher, Ms. Bongard, sent home a birthday bag too with a cool straw and some fun books for Lily to read.  My class had a dance party in honor of me, and I was able to share my birthday poster that I've been working on all month.  The class also got to ask a few questions about twins since apparently Lily and I are quite an anomoly.  The questions ranged from "Do twins have to be born on the same day?" to "What do twins eat?"  After a crash course in twins, we got to leave school about 5 minutes early which was fun in and of itself.  We then headed to gymnastics to work off some of our excitement, and then it was off to our first ever piano recital.  Here Lily performed Do You Like to Ride a Horse? and Pumpkin Eater.  I performed Zoom, Zoom Witches Broom and Halloween.  We made it through our performances with ease and after a few snacks we headed home for a late dinner and Mom and Dad surprised us with some gifts.  It was a busy day, but we enjoyed every minute, and can't wait to see what the next few days have in store for us since this birthday calls for four days of celebration!
