party prepping!

This spring certainly feels like a one long party, or maybe the life in California really is like that. Here we go again. Today is a big day in our household as the twins are turning two! We will do a little family celebration tonight after work and a party over the weekend.

Here are my basic ingredients for this party: presents from grandparents, flowers, balloons ( multi-coloured with a Thomas the Tank Engine and Hello Kitty thrown into the mix, yoghurt-fruit cake (wish I had time to make it, but the honour goes to the store), cupcakes (they like them a lot)…

We’ll see how the party goes and if twins are happy with the presents. With two the key issue often is that they want what the other one has, and since I try my best to avoid buying two of exactly the same things it doesn’t help…but certainly teaches some life skills I hope!

My experience is that for any kid under the age of 10 balloons are always a good choice, and give them endless entertainment

Yoghurt-fruit cake is a novelty for me. Hope it tastes good!
