Tomorrow my babies will be 10 years old! To help kick off the celebration, I made them some cupcakes…to hang in their rooms!

Aren’t they just darling?? They are a free pattern design by the very talented Stephanie from Loft Creations. I love a calorie-free cupcake any day! Thanks for the cute pattern, Stephanie! Carol from Carol’s Crafty Creations used the cupcake pattern and made a cute little birthday topper with a cupcake and a candle on top. So cute! I thought about putting a candle on these, but decided I’m going to embellish them with some cute buttons instead. I will look for some cute buttons over the weekend. Of course they are made out of the Bliss fabric collection by Bonnie & Camille. They will match their new Bliss quilts!! They look so cute in their rooms already!
The big celebration kicks off tonight with a sleep over. Lucky me. Tomorrow will be a family day when I get home from the shop. Sunday is their birthday party with the rest of the family. A whole weekend of celebration! With a lump in my throat as I write this, it’s still so hard for me to believe that it’s been 10 years. It seems like just yesterday Scott and I were scrambling to get to the hospital because I went into labor 7 weeks early! We were so scared. We didn’t even have a name picked out for Baby “B” yet. We had the name Elaina already picked out. We decided Baby “A” would be Elaina, but what about Baby “B”? We were so not prepared for that early of an arrival! We decided we both loved the name Alyssa. Well that was settled in a hurry! We had a very brief stay at the hospital because I was rushed by ambulance to a hospital that was equipped to handle the complications I was having. One very scary ride in an ambulance, scary few hours in the hospital and the girls were delivered…healthy and beautiful! Unfortunately, due to my complications, I didn’t get to see or hold the girls for two days. Worst two days of my life. When I did finally get to see them for the first time, they were the most beautiful sight I had ever laid my eyes on!! Two sweet, tiny little angels.

I also remember saying to myself “once we get them home, it shouldn’t be too hard. Seems like they sleep a lot.” I spent the next 9 1/2 months eating my words!! 🙂 HA! It seems like we went from that picture in the hospital to this…

overnight!

Cheers!
Lovely girls! How blessed you have been. I wish you and your family a wonderful weekend of celebrations!
Oh Happy Birthday girls – you are going to have one busy weekend. And no sleep for only 9 months after you got home. Ummm hate to tell you, but I had 3 girls and in another 3 years or so you are going to have less sleep than when they were babies!!! Sorry to spill the beans!
A Big Happy birthday to your girls! I have a special fondness for twins! I have identical twin boys (much older than 10) but they will always look 10 in my eyes!
Happy Double Digit Birthday to your beautiful girls! They really, really do grow up too fast. I can't believe mine are grown and almost grown. Seems just yesterday they were toddling around in diapers…..sigh. Love the cupcakes!
Your daughters are beautiful. Time sure flys by so quick. One of my daughters turned 16 the other day & i don't know where that time went. Happy Birthday Elaina & Alyssa. Hugs,
Happy Birthday to your adorable girls. Cherish every moment. They grow to fast.
Love your cupcakes and Carol's topper is cute too.
What a story! Your twins are beautiful! They grow so fast, don't they?
Adorable twin girls. Very cute as babies too. I'm sure they love the cupcakes you made for them, now they will be wanting the kind you can eat.
What beautiful twins……happy birthday! What a fun day….enjoy the sleep over :). Love the cupcake projects!! The time goes by so quickly!
Happy! Happy Birthday to your beautiful girls! And a very Happy Birthday to you Mom! ENJOY the weekend celebration…cute, cute cupcakes!
Happy Birthday to your gorgeous girls!! It would be so much fun to have twins! Love the cupcakes too 🙂

Happy birthday to 2 gorgeous looking girls.
I had to laugh at your thought that it's going to be so easy, all babies seem to do is sleep, feed, sleep etc. Oh boy, do we ever wake up to the real world quickly once we're home alone?
I would love to know the fabric you used for the cupcakes and also that background fabric. I love the colors.

Happy birthday wishes to your sweet girls. 😀
When I read this post and saw the last picture the word HAPPINESS popped up in my mind (((o:
What beautiful girls! They are adorable. I love the Silly String idea from your more recent post. Sounds like it was a great weekend. Mine is 6 years old, and I'll be blown away soon by her being 10! I can understand it!
