Twins 4th Birthday

HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY



Where did this last year go. It seems like we just celebrated your 3rd birthday and now you two are 4.  What a fun year we have had with you guys. You are no longer toddlers but are little people with big personalities.  




Lauren

You make me laugh every day.  Some of the things that come out of your mouth just make me gasp.  The other day I was driving you and Alena to the library and we were talking about something and I heard you say "you betcha."  I often look at you and wonder where my little 4 year old is because you sometimes act much older.  You have this adorable, spunky personality that makes people want to be around you.  

I wondered if you were ever going to grow but over the last couple months you have finally sprouted.  You are still shorter than your brother but are only 4 pounds lighter.  Sometimes you eat so well and other days you pick at your meals.  You would be content with snacking all day long. 

You love playing with your sister and will go along with whatever she wants you to do.  You do have moments when you want to play alone and if Alena is busy, you and Caleb play so well together when it is just the two of you.  

Your brother antagonizes you as often as he can. You remain a little bit whiny and emotional and I just keep hoping it is going to be something you out grow.  

You are my girlie girl and I love it. If you could wear dresses every day you would. Your favorite color is "sparkle" and you love anything pink.  You have already mentioned you have a boyfriend at school-Logan, (lord help me!).

Caleb

Our little, easy going guy has probably become our most challenging recently.  You have learned that as a brother with two sisters it is your job to bother your sisters as much as possible.  Of course, you enjoy getting them worked up. Some days it is a constant battle acting as a referee.

We've always known that you were pretty smart and just hope that when you are in school, you will apply yourself.  You love building with anything, driving trucks, putting puzzles together...Your mind is constantly going and you are so inquisitive.  I still love your fascination with large trackers and trucks and was so glad that you and daddy got to spend some time at the Culbertson farm this Fall.  

You remain my messy eater and you eat faster than anyone in our family. I have no idea where you got that from because everyone knows your mom and dad are the slowest eaters around.  When I ask what meals you want me to make each week, you usually reply with meatloaf or meatballs.  

The jury is still out whether you will be an athlete or not. You do have interest in soccer so will probably start that this spring.  You are a good runner with quick little feet so I think you could do whatever your heart desires.  

As much as you love to antagonize your twin sister, you are a really good brother.  I've mentioned it before, but I love when the two of you are playing together.  It really is a special relationship you have and I hope you will remain good friends throughout your life.  

You have many friends at school, mostly boys but you hang out with a few of Lauren's girlfriends as well.  You can go from playing farm with your tractors, to playing Barbie's or kitchen with your sisters.

I am really looking forward to this next year with you.  Everything continues to get easier and easier, yet different things become challenging as well.  We are so thankful for the two of you, your individuality, and the special connection that only twins can share.
