Growing Up, Destiny and Savannah

Our precious twins just turned thirteen! I thought some flashback photos would be fun!

Their thirteenth birthday weekend consisted of having friends (the Keisters) over on Friday night, followed by a sleepover at Mimi and Poppy's house, followed by a Saturday out with Mimi, followed by getting their ears pierced (a gift from Mommy and Daddy), followed by an outing with their youth group. Sunday morning they received cards and a laptop for sharing between the two of them, followed by church, followed by a yummy taco salad lunch, followed by cake decorating, followed by having a birthday party (Mimi and Poppy and Dave and Sue Martino joined us)!

(below) the yummy taco salad lunch (we didn't get a picture of the delicious supper that Jason made, we were too busy eating! But they had requested steak, potatoes, peas, and pierogies, and Mimi also brought fruit salad)

(above) Destiny gets her turn at the candles (Pastor Dave on the right, and Savannah on the left), (below) a picture of the cake before the candles. It was inspired by Destiny and Savannah's love of farm life, a fruit tree, a pumpkin patch, bunnies, etc...

And here they are, beaming and bright. We love you two ladies so very much and I feel incredibly blessed to be your mom. May the Lord bless you and keep you forever.
