Once they woke up we got right to business. 1st up? Another chair shot, of course! The "official" chair shot is upcoming in another post, but here they are with their birthday balloons.
Next on the agenda? Some horsing around with cousin Ben, while I did some more work on the birthday cakes.
Once I finished my work on the cakes the twins got busy. Their job? Sprinkle beautifucation. Jake had a chocolate cookie cake with crushed up oreos in it and a chocolate glaze on top.
Genevieve had a berry poke cake. A white cake with lots of holes poked into it, which we poured sweetened condensed milk and 3 berry icecream topping into. We had a coolwhip based frosting for her cake. She was in a sharing mood - unlike Jake, she was willing to let Bentley help her with the sprinkles. He was glad. :-)
Bentley has been just as excited (more so, even?!) as the twins about this birthday day. Cake to eat and presents to play with? He was in a great mood.
The finished cakes. My Mother and I make their names out of candy to put on the top of the cakes. Just in case they forgot which cake belonged to who! We ate cake at lunch time and had Grandpa Tim and Tyler (Grandma Karen is out of town), as well as Uroma and Uropa and Ben to celebrate with us. As well as the usual suspects who live here, of course.
They are a little neater with their eating than they were last birthday.
Next up? Present time! Genevieve was very excited about this part of her birthday. The first thing she said upon waking up was "open presents!".
Jake made a valiant effort at opening gifts, but lost focus easily. Luckily for him his older brother was there to help him with some of the gifts. :-)
Everyone checking out the new play kitchen!
Lastly? Picture time on the back deck!
Happy 2nd Birthday Kidlets! It was a fun day.

I thought your poke cake was going to have jello poured into it. I have to admit, the scmilk and berry topping sounds divine!
