Even Though It Is Cold Outdoors, Your Hands No Longer Have To Be

The outdoors are great. It used to be that gloves were the only way hands could stay, semi-warm. Now, as much of a blessing as gloves are, they really do not keep your hands warm. This could not be any more truer than when you might be fishing, trying to bind your skies, ice skating, mountain climbing, attending your kids outdoors sporting events or golfing. Any one of these outdoor events in cold weather, I have found, will literally freeze your hands. Without using Hand Warmers, your hands just might freeze and not make you a happy camper. The last thing you want to do is complain about very cold hands when you now have a solution.

Oh and along with Hand Warmers to keep your hands, warm, you can also keep your feet warm too. Yeah, keeping Foot Warmers with you, in your purse or backpack, will be a total blessing. In fact, at such an awesome price, you can purchase more than two for yourself and bring along however many more you need for you family or friends too. Your family and friends will not only thank you, but ask where you purchased them. I mean, once they use the Foot Warmers, they too will want to purchase them as well.

As much fun as the outdoors are, in cold weather, it no longer has to be unbearable due to the cold anymore. Solutions are now at your hands, feet and so much more.

TwiceToddlers (No More) and Their New Hot Pink Zebra Leg Warmers

Yeah, I had been waiting about a week for my twins Hot Pink Zebra Leg Warmers. Well,they were so worth the wait. I, and my Twins, LOVE them! They are so cute. The design is just adorable. I told my twins they could wear them with skirts, dresses and jeans too.

When I opened the individual packs, I threw them to each of my twins and they instantly put them on. Twin A is wearing Twin B's Belle Costume, with the leggings and Twin B is wearing her school spirit shirt, a hot pink skirt Auntie Amy gave her and Twin A for their birthday...with her Hot Pink Zebra Leg Warmer's too.

Oh, they just look so adorable. I will have to purchase another set for them soon.

TwiceToddlers (No More) and their 100th Day Hats

Yesterday, my twins had their 100th day of school. They were so excited. For their 100th day of school, they brought to school some peanut butter and jelly, in plastic containers. Although, my twins did not eat any of the peanut butter, or jelly, and instead ate what Mommy gave them in their Hello Kitty lunch boxes.

While at school yesterday, they did make their own "100th Day hats" with stars on them. They came on and were wearing their hats, which looked so cute on them. So, of course Mommy had to take photos of them wearing their cute hats.

The NMEDA Dealer's Help You Find Mobility

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of NMEDA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Now, because no two people are alike, or their disability is exactly the same, NMEDA Dealer' want you to beware of adapted wheelchair vehicles sold over the internet. As it turns out, NMEDA is a non-profit trade association. NMEDA educates their on purchasing products from NMEDA  qualified dealers.

The NMEDA Non-Profit Organization does not sell any products. The only thing they do is show you, in your state or city, who sells the best and most safe mobility vehicle for you to drive. In fact, you too can clickon the above NMEDA link and click on the dealer link to look for a dealer near you. Anyone who sells mobility vehicles, through NMEDA, are required to meet their safety standards and those of the National Highway Traffic Safety Association.

Members of NMEDA are the only ones allowed to sell handicap vehicles and vans with modifications for disabled persons. Only after an "in-person" evaluation with a NMEDA member can you be sure you are purchasing the right driving solution customized for your specific disability needs. Once you receive your personalized mobility van or vehicle, if at any time you need assistance, you can contact your local NMEDA dealer and they will be more than happy to assist you.

Not only does NMEDA have dealers in your state or city, they have a Quality Assurance Assistance Program.

One more thing about NMEDA is, they will make it easy for your family member or friend to get back on the road to independence with their NMEDA van or vehicle.

TwiceToddlers (No More) and Completed 100 Days Project

My twins finally completed their 100 Days of School Project. We had to complete it last night. I think it was supposed to be completed by the 25th, but their teacher asked for it today. I was hoping to get them some colorful feathers to add to their project, but we ended up using some objects we already had in the house.

In fact, my twins had got this container of ribbons, buttons and other craft products for their birthday this year. This craft gift came from one of their Sunday School/Kindergarten friends. Yeah, we finally were able to use some of the craft stuff inside that plastic box.

So, here are some photos of my twins making their 100 Days of School Project and my twins holding it too. I think they did a good job, but it took for ever for their product to get this way as they just do...not...listen...

TwiceToddlers (No More) and God's Little Princess Devotional Bible and Sweet Dreams Princess Books

Some surveys I do give me Amazon.com rewards. So, with the Amazon.com e-certificates I have accumulated, I purchased two Princess books for my twins. One book is titled: "God's Little Princess Devotional Bible and the other Sweet Dreams Princess God's Little Princess Bedtime Bible Stories, Devotional, & Prayers. Both of these books are by Sheila Walsh.

Ever since receiving them, I have read them to my twins at night, before bedtime, and they love them. Of course, my twins love the covers of both these books and the stories inside as well.

The books both have tiara's on the front, with jewels embedded into the tiaras. One book has a tiara sitting on a satin pillow and the book is pink. The other book has a tiara above the title of the book and the book is white.

I love how my twins look forward to Mommy reading them their books each evening. What I do is, I sit in the middle of my bed, while Twin "A" sits on my left side and Twin "B" sits on my right side.

While reading the books, I either have the television turned off, or muted. I think I will turn the television off beginning tonight. That way, besides them crossing over Mommy to touch each other, there will be no distractions.




These are the books I got for my twins. If you are looking for a book, or books, to get for your princesses, I suggest these ones. I am satisfied with them, and you too will be satisfied.

**Now, if your princesses are not of reading age yet, you will just have to skip over the parts where you read and them your princess read. This is not a problem though. Once your princess is of reading age, you can then read this portion of the book together.**

TwiceToddlers (No More) and Hiding Things

Over the past four (4) months, my twins have begun hiding things, like toys, under their beds and behind the television set. Now, they hide their toys or other objects, like hair accessories, because they are either a) break them or b) hear Mommy coming into their room when they should be sleeping.

Is this something your twins or non-twins do as well? I find this funny and at the same time irritating. Over and over again, I tell my twins, "If you break something, bring it to Mommy and I will see if I can fix it. If I can't fix it, we will take it to Grammie or I will through it away." Even though I tell my twins this, they still hide their broken toys or hair accessories.

Goodness gracious, I know when I was my twins age, I too used to "hide" broken toys or hair accessories too. It makes me laugh and or chuckle as I am sure it does all you Mommy's and Daddy's too.

**I have posted a POLL. Whoever, one person, answers the poll (on right side-bar), before the 25th, I will make you a Rhinestone Tank Top, beanie hat or headband in whatever color you want. I will let you know what colors are available to me.**

TwiceToddlers (No More) Mommy Receives Beanie Hats, Headbands and Flowers

Recently, as of last week, I was looking online for some more companies that sold cute beanie hats and headbands with flowers on them. Well,instead of finding what I was looking for, I came upon a website that sells each of these items, individually, and at excellent prices too.

Well,I received my order and and now going to put my beanie hats and headbands, with flowers, together for my twin girls. If you like them,and would like one or two for your little girl(s), please do not hesitate to contact me.

The color two (2) beanie hats I purchased were black and four (4) headbands I purchased were white and hot pink. The flowers I purchased were two (2) hot pink and two (2) blue with matching alligator clips.

Once I make the hats and bands I have, I will post them on this blog and my All Things Homemade blog too. I will also post photos of my twins wearing them to see how cute they look on their heads.

TwiceToddlers (No More) Got "Tangled" Today

This afternoon, my sister in law took me and my twins to see the movie Tangled today. Oh my, that was the very best Disney Film I have EVER, I mean, EVER seen. The characters were amazing. The characters, Rapunzel and "Eugene" Rider, were not only were pleasant to look at, their voices were fun to listen to.

There was nothing scary, frightening of real evil at all. If you have not seen this film yet, I will not go into anymore detail. My twins sat in the middle, while Auntie Cheryl and Mommy sat on the ends. Then, as we were sitting down, two of my twins friends from kindergarten came in and sat in the same row as us.

This movie, Tangled, is a Disney animated musical film. But, what I liked about it was, there was less musical and more film. To me, I think the musical portion gets in the way. This film was more film, and less musical.

The voices were Mandy Moore Princess (Rapunzel), Zachary Levi (Eugene) Flynn Rider and Donna Murphy as "Mother-Witch Gothel".

After the film, my twins went over to hug their friends. Oh, it was so cute. My twins are not shy when it comes to seeing a friend or two they know.

If this is the only movie you see this year, even though it has been out since 2010, this is the movie to see. It does not matter if you have boys or girls.

Can you tell, I was impressed with this particular Disney film? Disney has disappointed me over the years, but this film was worth seeing.

TwiceToddlers(No More) and Their 100 Days Project

So, the first, yes first, 100 days project was a total bust. Mommy had to go out and get some more white boards. This time, I purchased four, just in case. With the new white boards, my twins and I have been working adding such things as colorful pom poms (ten), animal stickers (ten), tiny heart stickers (ten) and writing their names (ten) times. I am thinking of having my twins put their fingerprints (ten) times on the 100 Days of School board too.

When their boards are completed, I will take photos and place them on here for all my readers to see and comment on, if you so choose.

Bright Beginnings Now Has Preemie to Toddlers in 5T Diapers On Their Website

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of PBM Products. All opinions are 100% mine.

If you are already purchasing Bright Beginnings Baby Formula, you can now purchase diapers from their website as well. Being a one stop shopper, for your preemie, infant or toddler has not gotten easier. There is no need to drive to your local grocery store or mass retailer anymore. Now, all you have to do is buy on diapers.com. Being able to purchase your babies diapers online will save you time on the road, waiting in line in any retail outlet and then having to drive back home.

The most important thing about purchasing your diapers through Bright Beginnings online is the name brands you can look at and purchase, along with the cost of each box of diapers. There are name brands such as Huggies, Seventh Generation, Pampers and several off brands. When my twins were preemies, I did use the Pampers Swaddlers brand. Oh, they were so cute and tiny! The preemie diapers are for babies weighing 0-6 lbs. My twins were under 4 lbs, so these diapers fit them perfectly.

Once my twins began growing, I switched brands and liked the other brand just as much. When looking on the Bright Beginnings website, you will wonder what took you so long to make your first purchase here. Not only are the prices reasonable, you can also use online coupons. This is a win win situation, having twins or  not.

Finally, to keep up with sales or new coupons, you must visit and "LIKE"  Bright Beginnings on Facebook. If you have family and friends with a new baby, spread the word to them about the saving on diapers through Bright Beginnings too.

TwiceToddlers(No More) and Their Doctor's Kit

My twins have a lot of new toys, from their birthday and Christmas. With all their new toys, they actually play with them too. Well, Mommy has to remind them to play with their toys, but they play with them nonetheless.

Let's see, for the most part, they love playing "Doctor", from Auntie Amy, and checking Mommy's heart rate, if I have a cold or fever, my blood pressure and if I have a Boo Boo, they try and put the plastic band aid on my wrist.

When they are done fixing Mommy up, they open their "Teacher" kit, from Nana, and ring the bell, take out the hand pointer and begin class with their stuffed animals as students. It is really cute watching them play.

Even with all the DVD movies we have, I really prefer my twins playing with their toys and using their imagination. All those movies we have, does nothing for their imagination and growing brains.

This morning, both twins "A&E" but on their Superhero outfits Mommy got them for their birthday's. Mommy, that is me, found them Pink Capes and Hot Pink Masks. Before Mommy bought the capes and masks,they would wrap blankets around their necks and "try" and clasp them together with my hair clips. Well, that lasted only two minutes. That is when I began looking online for some capes and masks.

Now, even though my twins do not play with their "superhero princess" costumes as much as I would like, at least they had them on this morning.

My twins, they are just adorable and have so much energy. I love them so much...can you tell..

TwiceToddlers (No More) and The Alphabet

This week, my twins have finally completed learning how to write the letters of the alphabet. On Monday, they came home with "Y" and "Z". Now, before my twins come home with their homework, they also practice writing every letter in the alphabet. When my twins come home, they bring home, not only their homework, but their practice letters as well.

Yesterday afternoon, my twins were learning how to copy and write the letters "Y" and "Z". They did alright, they could be doing better, but they get lazy. I mean, they already learned how to write their alphabet's in preschool. In fact, everything they are now learning in kindergarten, they already learned in preschool. It does not help that my twins are so busy and love playing.

Mommy has to make sure they are sitting down and paying attention. It also does not make it easy that I have a right and left handed child. It must not be easy for one of my twins to be left handed. Sometimes, it is strange for me, a right hander, to help her out.

Anyway, I am not sure what they will be learning after their letter's. I suppose their numbers. So far, they have only learned to write the number 1 and 2. But, I have been teaching them all their numbers way before they got into school. Thank goodness for Mommy! Go Mommy!!

TwiceToddlers (No More) and Puzzles

For Christmas, my twins received a puzzle from Nana. The puzzle is has small pieces, but the puzzle only has thirty pieces too. This means the puzzle is easy to put together, while being fun too.

In the last two days, my twins have been putting together a Tinkerbell, Cinderella and cute Lucy (I think) mouse puzzle. It is amazing watching them put these puzzles together. Sure, the puzzles are small, except the mouse puzzle, which has large pieces, but they really have fun.

As my twins put each puzzle together, they watch their cartoons...sometimes as I watch them. They love Mommy watching them, but I am not to help them. That is what they say, "Mommy, I do not need your help. But you can watch."

It looks like, for now at least, my twins have found a new and brain challenging way, to stay busy..while having fun too.

TwiceToddlers (No More) and 100 Days at School

When my twins came home from school yesterday, than came with an assignment to complete by the end of the month. It is called the "100 Days of School" assignment. They are supposed to put five(5) things they like, in sets of ten (10), on a white board or something like it. Then, take it to school and share with their teacher and classmates.

So, my twins will find five(5) things they like or like to do, and add it ten (10) times each, to the white paper board. So far, my twins have have added ten stickers to the white board, tomorrow, they will draw ten(10)hearts on the white board. Then, after tomorrow, they will put ten (10) of their pointer finger, fingerprints, on the white board. After the fingerprints, I am not sure what to add. They can not add any food items or coins to the white board as they will fall off and/or cause ants to appear.

I am thinking of having them pick ten(10) photos of themselves they like and having them write their names out. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea to me.

TwiceToddlers(No More) Wearing Their Disney Costumes

Ever since my twins got their Disney costumes for their birthday, from Nana and Papa, I have had to repair them more than once. One of the costumes, Snow White, I did not know how to fix as it has tulleing on top of the satin. This costume, Grammie fixed for me.

My goodness, it is very very sad when Mommy, Daddy or Grandparents purchase these costumes and then, then, they have to be hemmed or sewn back together! I mean, I can see this has being necessary if they cost us $10.00, but at over $20 for each costume, this is just pathetic.

I am not sure who is getting screwed here, the seamstresses(yes) or the parents (yes). Boy do I miss Made in the U.S.A. products, of all products in America.

Yes, I am totally sure if these products were made in America, they would be made with pride. Okay, enough with my rant....

My twins still love wearing their costumes, once they are fixed. Here they are wearing their costumes at Christmas. They wear these costumes all day, everyday.

Branson, Missouri is the Best Place in the Midwest to take a Family Vacation

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hiltons of Branson. All opinions are 100% mine.

Oh my, when it comes time to take my family on vacation, Branson, Missouri is at the top on my list. This has got to be one of the most amazing cities in Missouri to visit at least once a year. I say this because there are so many attractions this city has to offer their visitors. Branson has two amazing Hilton Hotels for you to stay at. There is the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel and the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing. For me and my family, I will most definitely make reservations at the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing. This Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing is so amazing, you might never want to leave the hotel. They offer fine dining at the Level 2 Steakhouse, an 18th Hole Golf Course where several hole's tells a story of Payne Stewart's golfing history, the ever popular Branson Landing Fountain with it's amazing water shows. If you still want to stay fit on your family vacation, you can visit the on site hotel fitness center, the indoor pool and heated whirlpool too.

If, on the other hand, you want to take your family off the hotel site, you must take them to Lake Taneycomo. This lake was  was created in 1913. From 1913 to 1958, Lake Taneycomo had been a 'warm water' lake. Once Dam water began sending water in the lake, the lake water began to cool down. This lake is still fun to play in nonetheless. Guests to this lake can go fishing, swimming and take boat rides as well. There is both a deep and shallow end of this lake.

There are over forty-seven attractions you can look into and visit such as the Branson Zipline & Canopy Tours, The Branson Titanic, Dinosaur Museum, Butterfly Palace and Rainforest Adventure, Kids Kountry, Silver Dollar City  and so much more. There are also four free attractions such as the God and Country Inspirational Gardens, Shepherd of the Fish Hatchery, Stone Hill Winery and Table Rock Lakeshore Trail.

Wow, with all the above attractions, you can not forget dining and shopping. You and your family can eat at the Alenhor Inn Restaurant & Pizzeria, Andy Williams Moon River Grill, Beach House Catfish Cafe, Beverly's Steakhouse and so many more. Then, there are so many places to shop as well. You and your family can do some shopping at The Grand Village Shops, Apricot Lane, Belk Department Store, Branson Craft Mall, the Branson Mill, Brighton Collectibles and a lot of other amazing stores to look at and make your purchases too.

Now, if you are on vacation and working, you can also visit the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel. While at this hotel, you can walk through the over 220,00 square feet of Branson Meeting Space. Business meeting can be held in one of four Old Glory Meeting Rooms. Just adjacent from the convention center is the Historic Downtown Branson, Missouri.

When I make my vacation plans with my family, it would be for three days. This is what I would have on my itinerary:

Day One: Unpack at Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing Hotel. Eat at Level 2 Steakhouse, take kids to indoor pool for a while. After pool, take them to the Branson Family Fun Factory and them go our for pizza at the Altenhof Inn Restaurant & Pizzeria ..

Day Two: Wake up, eat breakfast at hotel, them take the kids on the Table Rock Lakeshore Trail. After that, go to lunch at the Branson Cafe. From here, go back to the hotel, rest for a while. After resting, get up and get ready to go out for shopping and dinner. For shopping, I would go to the Grand Village Shops, buy some things I can not find at home, then take the kids to see the Branson Landing Fountain Water Shows.

Day Three: Wake up, eat breakfast at hotel, them take kids to Kids Kountry and Dinosaur Museum. That should fill up our morning. From there, do some more shopping, go back to the hotel and rest. After resting, get dressed for the evening and go to eat at the All American Cafe. After eating, I would probably take my kids back to the Branson Family Fun Factory.

This is how my families vacation in Branson, Missouri would be, how about your's? Now is the time to make your reservations and experience the beauty, fun and find dining Branson, Missouri has to offer you.

TwiceToddlers (No More) Mommy Went Thrift Shopping Today

This early afternoon, my precious girlfriend picked me up to go shopping. But first, my girlfriend and her son and myself went to Starbucks for a coffee and breakfast sandwich. The sandwich was delicious, as always, and we got a deal on the sandwich. Usually, I purchase a Carmel Mach, but today, I purchased a Cappuccino! It was without flavor, to me, so I added some Nutmeg and Cinnamon to it. Then, it tasted much better.

After our early afternoon at Starbucks, she drove us to the Recycle Treasure-Thrift Store in town. Wow! That store/location was full of stuff. I mean, there were bicycles, old parts to products and appliances outside. Inside, there were old fashioned dresser drawers (which I loved), lots of frames(I purchased two), blankets(homemade and I purchased one), lots of children's toys, kitchen ware, records, Cd's, clothing for men, women and kids too. The one thing I really wanted, but they did not have was old fashioned clothing for little girls(for my twins) and old fashioned hats..If they ever do get them in again, I am sure I can get them at a great price.

I say this because the three items I purchased were only $5!! I looked at the owner and had to do a double take. I said to her, "Are you sure, I can pay more. How do you stay in business?" She said the appliances are her big seller's. So, I paid the low price, asked for a business card and said, "I will be back for more."

On my next visit, I plan to, if they are still in the store, purchase a Punch Set, Turkey Platter and Salt and Pepper Shakers. I love stores like this and am so glad my sweet girlfriend told me about it. This is a store to go back to again and again and again as it changes all the time.

From the thrift store, we went to Michael's. Now, Michael's was cost me so much more than the thrift store. The frames I purchased at the thrift store, practically cost me $1.50 a piece, while at Michael's, the ones I saw there were between $25-$30. But, I was not at Michael's for the frame's. I was there to purchase a plastic container, with top, to keep my paints wet when not used. Did Michael's have them anymore?? NO way...I have no idea why the stopped selling them as I really need one. I am go to begin painting again and having a closed container for my paints was really important to me.

Well, since I was at Michael's, I used my two gift cards on more Happy Birthday sticker for the homemade cards I make and I came upon old fashioned boxes. I have been looking for these type of boxes for....ever....The boxes I found looked like books and luggage. So, I purchased two books of different sizes, one medium luggage box and a small round box.

With my new frames and new Old Fashioned Boxes, I plan to take Old Fashioned Photos of my twins. But first, I need to purchased Old Fashioned Lace Dresses and Hats for my twins. It would be nice to find two Lace Parasol's too. If anyone in cyberspace knows where I can purchase these products, at a very reasonable price (as I need two of each) please let me know.

All in all, I had a very productive shopping day, thank goodness for the two Michael's gift cards...

TwiceToddlers (No More) on New Year's Eve

On New Year's Eve, we celebrated New York time so my twins could go to bed early. So, I went to a local party store and purchased four Happy New Year's hats, four noise makers and some pink and blue beaded necklaces.

As the new year was approaching, I took all the New Year party items out of the bag and put them on my twins, hubby and myself. I told my twins not to blow into the noise makers until midnight...do you think they listened...NOT..

Here are some photos of us wearing our New Year's Eve party wear and Ringing in the New Year.

Joke about Twins, from my Friend on Gather

Eight and a half months very pregnant with twins, I was used to getting nervous glances from strangers. But I never realized how imposing I was until my husband and I went out to dinner at a new restaurant.

The hostess sat us at our table, took one long look at my stomach and asked, "Would you like me to get you a high chair just in case?"


**I thought this was funny because with me, it would not have been at eight months, but instead five months. Yeah, I was really BIG at five months and everywhere I went, people: male and female, asked if I was carrying twins. There is something about twins, and women carrying twins that makes people curious and the need to ask if you are carrying twins. Even today, I see Mom's with their twins in any retail store and my face lights up. I ask how old their twins are and then tell the Mommy with twins, "I too have twins who are five years old". There are so many sets of twins and triplets in my city. All I have to do is walk out my front door and I see twins being strolled around my block.**

TwiceToddlers (No More) Christmas at Nana, Papa, Auntie Amy, Grammie and Poppas Home

This Christmas, my twins, Mommy(Me) and Daddy went down to my parents home. We had a wonderful week with my parents. Our time together went by way too fast. Because it is Winter, my twins stayed indoors more than they would have liked to. It was windy and so cold. But, Papa and the twins did play in the backyard on the swings. My twins love standing on the seat of the swing and they did that often on our Christmas vacation.

My Mom and I did a little shopping at some of the stores in her city. The stores she shops at are not in my city. While shopping, I purchased a new dining table set. It was at a price I could not pass up. I also purchased a table runner and place mats for my new(and free)dining table. I love my new dining table and cushioned chairs.

On Christmas Eve, my twins, Mommy, Daddy, Nana and Papa,drove to my sister's home. My twins, of course, had so much fun! They love seeing and playing with their cousins, my nephews. My sister and brother in law, made a delicious dinner for everyone. The kids sat in the kitchen, around the island, while the adults sat in the dining room. Everything prepared was delicious.

After dinner, we made our way to the family room, where the Christmas Tree and presents were. The presents were passed around to everyone. My twins got a tea set and doctor's kit a piece from Auntie, while my nephews got Lego's and a Disney movie from their Auntie(Me). My sister gave me the awesome Navy Blue Pea Coat and Long Sleeve Stripped Shirt, while I gave my Sister a Shirt she wanted and a new coffee mug, with a hot chocolate mix and Peppermint Bark I made for my Mom and Sister.

On Christmas Day, back at my parents home, my twins and I, woke up around 8ish, I think, while Daddy slept in longer. Nana and Papa were up making coffee and getting ready to see their twin granddaughter's open their gifts. Nana and Papa played "Santa", while I watched the twins open each gift that was handed to them.

One gift I have my twins was shipped to my parents home. I knew my twins wanted a new baby doll. So I found it online and shipped it to my parents home. The doll was cute, with red pig tales, eyes that open and shut and and a cute outfit. I also got them a Baby Doctor Barbie and Doctor Barbie, which they really line. Other gifts I got them were no big deal really.

Nana and Papa got them a pretend teaching set, some adorable clothes and their favorite, a Hello Kitty Scooter! They love the scooter, but since the weather has been so cold, and sometimes rainy, they have only used them twice since Christmas.

Since my twins have been indoors due to the weather, they have played with the Play Doh Nana and Papa also gave them and the baby girl doll I have gave, along with the very cute Robotic Tiger and Panda Auntie JuJu gave them.

My twins are very blessed indeed. They received Christmas gifts from both sets of grandparents and Aunties. On my hubby's side of the family, his parents gave my twins some small toy cars to play with and new PJs that are made of fleece.

Their Aunties, my hubby's sister's, gave my twins the Robotic Tiger and Panda, almost like the ones Nana gave them three year's ago. They also got Hello Kitty Walkie Talkies and their Disney Princess Table and Chairs. This is where my twins will play with their Baby Doll, Robotic Tiger and Panda and other toys, along with the Tea Sets from Auntie Amy, my sister.

Oh yes, my twins are very blessed and loved. Not only did they receive gifts from both sides of our family, they received gifts from their Great Auntie's as well. Great Auntie Janice gave them a Disney Sticker Book, they LOVE, and Great Auntie Leenie gave them each as set of Pink Stripped PJ's.

Merry 5th Christmas and Happy New Year My TwiceBabies, Toddlers and Toddlers No More. Mommy and Daddy love you so much.
