HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAGE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYA!

On their birthday, December 16, we just had cake and presents at our house for them. My parents were there along with Joy, Boogs, and Tate. We let them open presents and then sang to them..and then they played with presents some more!

Opening the box filled with gifts from Grandma and Grandpa! "OHHHH"
Gage loves cars and trucks!!
Taya loves babies! Joy got the doll out of the box for her..and she was so excited!
Taya says, "cheese," but doesn't always look at the camera when she says it!
Gage thought the vibrating truck was really cool!!
Joy showing him how to do it!
Gage playing trucks and puzzles with Grandma and Grandpa!
Then Cory and I brought out our gifts..BICYCLES!!
Taya trying to stand up and ride! Grandma showing Gage how to push the pedals!
Taya riding across the room to Grandma..she kept standing up and pedaling..
They were really excited! Singing to Gage!

Singing to Taya!

Eating their piece of cake!
"All done!" They wanted to go play some more!
Taya and her doll trying out one of Gage's new trucks!
Taya thinking Gage's bike was cool..
And Gage enjoying Taya's bike!
Not sure if Super WHY or the bike is more interesting...
Trying to get a pic with them..but their eyes are on Super WHY!
Playing trucks with Gage..
Saying, "cheese," and looking at the camera!
Giving one of her new dolls a hug! (and of course they ALL had to sleep in bed with her!)
A few days later, Cory's parents stopped by on their way to Utah. They brought Gage and Taya their presents. They got these bounce and learn turtles. They are really neat..though our kids don't pay attention to the learning, they just bounce..really high!!
Peyton getting in on the action!
Just love this pic..too bad the sun from the blinds was center on her face!!
They had a great birthday with lots of super cool presents! (not to mention all the presents that Aunt Jean sent them!!) Thank you everyone for making their day wonderful! We love and appreciate you!!
TWO YEARS OLD! WOW!! Talk about time flying! We are just shocked that they are two! We love to watch them grow and learn new things every day! They are great kids (for the MOST part) and LOVE to laugh! We are so lucky to have such wonderful, happy, smart, loving children! We love you Gage and Taya!

Seriously, how are they riding bikes already?! Man, I need to come see these kids and have them rub a little of their genius on Rosslyn. Love, Rach
