This year, we had lots to be thankful for. The date on the pictures is incorrect, it's supposed to be 2009.
The twin's birthday fell on Thanksgiving Day this year, so we had double to celebrate. Everyone at dinner had a chance to say what they are thankful for. Roman was most thankful for "Yellow!". It was adorable. Violet answered by rambling something off, it was still cute.
Happy Birthday to Violet and Roman!!!
I can't believe they are already TWO YEARS OLD!!
Their real birthday fell on Thanksgiving Day this year, so we had their party the weekend before..
Oma with the Birthday Girl.....
Sophia's brother, Baby Gavin was even able to make it to the party!
It was great to invite some of their friends over. From Left: Brianna, Liam, Sophia, Roman, Violet, and an inflatable Dora the Explorer doll (Violet refused to take the picture unless Dora sat next to her on the couch!)
What lucky little kids, they received SO many gifts... This one is a My Pal Puppy from Leap Frog. It's programmable online so the puppies can say and spell their names, sing them songs, ask them questions about their favorite things, and we can change the information at any time. They are really neat! Violet loves it that her My Pal Violet puppy knows her name. Opa & Oma got them the puppies...
Brianna really enjoyed the party hats!!
Hi Sophia!
Roman wearing his new NY Yankee baseball cap...
He was really excited to get some new cars from Noni and Grandma B...
It was so sweet of Violet to kiss her new baby doll once she pulled it out of the box!
Cake was the best part...
Roman's cake was a Thomas the Train mini cake....
Violet's was a Dora the Explorer mini cake..........
Sophia enjoyed the cupcakes, as well....
I asked the bakery to match the cupcakes for the guests to the icing on their individual cakes. The cupcakes that matched Roman's cake were very blue in color that stained everyone's teeth and lips. I now know to check for that next year!
Overall, it was a wonderful birthday party and I am really glad that the kids had so much fun! Thank you to everyone who participated in their birthday event! 
Opa and Oma invited us to an Oregon Ducks Basketball Game....
The babies both really like basketball....
The Oregon Duck was giving hugs to the kids that wanted them. Roman and Violet were both afraid of the duck....
We all had a good time....
One afternoon while I was at work, our babysitter called me to tell me that Violet and Roman both went pee pee in the potty.It was so exciting! These are pictures from the exciting day once I got home!
Roman was excited to tell me about it but he wasn't as excited to take a picture next to the potty chair. They aren't using the potty chair all the time now, but they are definitely interested! 
It wouldn't be a holiday if we didn't see Opa and Oma! The twins were in their pajamas but they still went to Opa and Oma's door to trick or treat!
It was fun!
We were invited to trick or treat with our friends Gabby and Mario....
From Left: Violet as a princess, Gabriella as Snow White, Mario as a pirate, and Roman as Thomas the Train. They were SO cute! We also walked with their friend's baby Parker, she fell asleep about half way through the block and went home with her parents..
Trick or Treat!
We only walked up one block before it started to sprinkle. The kids received PLENTY of candy for only walking one block!
It took us a few houses before they all got the hang of it...
I learned that Roman is afraid of pumpkins if they have scary faces on them!
Violet was super excited to get candy from different houses! She also didn't understand that she wasn't supposed to carry her candy bucket like a purse, it was adorable!
It was fun to teach the kids about Halloween and trick or treat with our friends!
