"It can't be, they're 3?!"

September 25, 2012, Maxwell George and Lincoln Thomas turned 3!  Tim and I cannot believe where the last three years have gone.  We always have said that we are blessed to have the experience of being parents of twins.  We love them so much and look forward to the next three years!

Favorite place for dinner - DINOS

Opening presents before pizza

He has not put down his new reader he got from Mom and Dad

Charlie got both the boys games for the readers and new shirts

Time for our birthday sundae

Auntie Mary (as busy as she is) made both the boys their birthday cakes again!  We had plans to celebrate together in Sioux Falls but we didn't get there.  Papa delivered the cakes to the boys here and they couldn't have been happier!
Chewbacca was Lincoln's and Master Yoda was Maxwell's


Time for presents with Papa and Grandma

They got their new coats/snowpants with sweet bomber hats!

Auntie Mary, Uncle Chris, malaki, and zak got the boys new snugglies, Chewie and Bugsby.  Bugsby reads books to Max and Chewie growls at Lincoln.  PERFECT!

Time to blow out the candles


Uncle Tim and Auntie Faye came to us and brought presents as well

This lil boy was in heaven when he opened his huge Yoda!

Off to the Animal Shelter to drop off Max and Lincoln's 3rd donation.  They were not happy because the lady said they couldn't visit the animals at that time.
We want to thank Papa, Grandma, Auntie Faye, Uncle Tim, "Uncle" Chuck, and "Auntie" Sheena for helping the boys make this donation a success!

This is a picture our Daycare Provider captured for us.  She knew I was having a hard time at work and not being with the boys.  Thanks Alisa!!

Aunt Faye and Uncle Tim told us they were taking the boys overnight with them to a hotel so we could get some much needed rest.  Everyone had their sleeping bags, a snuggly, and PJ's ready to go.  
We were told there was no tears and everyone had a great time.  I don't doubt it at all!  Thank you so much.  The night alone was needed and appreciated!

Lincoln was in the very last train car :)

Best buds always snuggling or chasing each other

Time to say our goodbyes at Panera 

We appreciate all the help that we received over the weekend.  We needed all of it and couldn't have gotten through without it.  After Papa left, Auntie Tina came for a few days to stay with us and Grandma.  We survived a terrible ordeal with their help and the boys are so lucky to have had the distraction.  From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all that were here in person and those that have continued support through phone calls and emails.
