Easter

I realize that this whole blog could just be called "twin girls in holiday dresses", since that is what I mostly post. But who can resist an occasion for a special outfit?! Here are the girls in their Easter dresses. Grandma Saint also came to visit for their first Easter so here are some pictures with her. As a reminder, it's incredibly hard to get 2 babies to do the right thing for the camera :)



Look at Parker holding Olive's arm!




Olive looking surprised and another cute one of her.

And pretty Parker

and of course the little bunny shoes they both had on

What we have been up to...

Here are some things the girls have been doing lately.

They are really good at holding their heads up
Here is Parker

Parker learned how to hold her rattle

Uncle Rick came to visit. Here he is with Olive



And I don't normally put the girls in matching outfits. But I could not resist these "Daddy Loves Me" shirts and the adorable cupcake dresses from GG Thompson

Valentines Day Dresses

Here are the girls in the adorable dresses that Grandpa Brothers gave them. They wore them to church today and they were a big hit!

Parker's new noise

Lately Parker has been making the cutest new noise - like a "whooo" type sound. Here it is on video. So cute! You will have to scroll down and stop the music at the bottom to really hear her.

Blessing Day

The girls were blessed in church this past Sunday, and we were so lucky to have some of our family here for the big day. Shawn's parents, my Mom & Mike and GG all made the trip. My good friend Zeb and his fiance Heidi also came which was so nice. And of course we had our second families the Barton's and the Bradfords there as well.

Everything went so well (despite a total major meltdown from Olive seconds before her big moment - but she pulled it together just in time!). Shawn had to do 2 blessings, which was a lot of pressure, but he did such an amazing job and it was an extremely special day that we will always remember! Here are some pictures.

Proud Parents!

After church, the Bartons had us all over for a brunch party. We changed the girls into their party dresses. They slept the whole time!

Thanks to everyone for making the day so special!

New Baby Pictures

Here are some pictures from Christmas and more. I have to say, it's really hard to get 2 babies to behave for a cute picture. But we did our best!

The girls had several outfit changes on Christmas, since we had gotten so many cute outfits as gifts.

Here is Parker in her "I love Santa" outfit with Grandpa Brothers

Close up of Olive in hers.

And Santa dresses from Nana.

And of course these Santa outfits that Megan & Jeannette got them. These were so cute we could not stop laughing!!

Aunt Kay & Uncle Rick gave the girls these ADORABLE church dresses, so here they are on their first Sunday to church. It looks like Olive is giving Parker a kiss!

And just for extra cuteness, here is Olive sleeping peacefully.

The Girls Are Here!

The day finally came, and the girls have arrived!

Here are
Olive Kathryn &

Parker Yvonne

Born November 30th at 7:44 and 7:45pm. Olive was 6 pounds 2 ounces and Parker was 5 pounds 10 ounces. Both girls are 19 inches long.

We are all home and doing great! We are so happy they are finally here and we are loving every minute of it.

We all think that Parker looks like Shawn, and Olive like me. But they honestly change daily. Here are some first photos.
