Dear Elise and Althea,

Happy birthday, little chickens. We love you!

Feliz cumpleaƱos, nenas! Os queremos mas que nada.

Zorionak, neskak!

Sigh.

There will never be words. No matter which language, there will never be words to tell you how much we love you both.

P.S. I edited this video no less than 14,000 times in the past three days. xoxo

Well, that made me a total mess! I’m all teary for my own little one who is growing up entirely too fast. Happy birthday baby girls.

Great job….on the video and on raising two beautiful girls! You’ve come a long way and so have they! You must be very proud! I’M VERY PROUD OF THEM AND OF YOU! Such a wonderful journey…

God, they are gorgeous. I don’t know how you don’t walk around thinking you are the greatest mother of all time for doing such an amazing job with the delivery and the BFing. Really.

Your husband looks really familiar, too. Not in an “OMG I KNOW YOU IN REAL LIFE!” way, but in a “he reminds me of someone famous” way.

Wow, that was beautiful. I’m totally balling my eyes out now. I can’t believe how fast time by goes by. You’re doing such a great job.

I’m pretty sure you commented on how you don’t really like it that people think twins are so gosh darn cute, but after watching that video, I’m sorry to say that not only are twins so stinking cute, but your two are adorable twins.

I can’t believe it’s already that time! They are so beautiful…and I don’t just say that about every baby. They really are gorgeous! Happy Birthday, girls! and many, many to come!

Happy Birthday!! The pictures were beautiful. I know how sad leaving the first year was, but trust me… fun times are right around the corner! (C&G will be 4 on Friday… so your look back has me especially nostalgic)

Lovely, get it on the board…blubbering fool right now. Happy Birthday ladies, you are dolls.

I still cry if I see the video you and chris made to announce the pg. This is way beyond that! E & A are amazing. You have done an awesome job. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday beautiful girls!!! This next year will fly as well!

Happy Birthday to your little ones. We first stumbled across your blog when trying to decide whether to name one of our twin girls Althea (we did). Our girls are about 6 months behind yours and it’s been wonderful to peek in on you from time to time to see what lies ahead. Thanks for sharing your stories with us.

Many blessings to you in the coming year!

Wahhhhhhhh. This is so cute.

Is it bad that what I noticed most was how cute your husband is?

And the girls are cute, too.

Happy Birthday!

14 Lauren { 11.21.09 at 2:55 pm }

Happy [belated] birthday to the little ladies! I need to meet them one of these times that I visit the M&G.

15 Emily { 11.26.09 at 1:43 pm }

Happy (belated) birthday to the beautiful babies and may they enjoy every happiness in the year to come. And congrats to mom and dad on one year of parenting. You make it look easy!

16 Honey B. { 11.29.09 at 10:36 pm }

Ohh, that made me all teary! Beautiful girls.
