Twins birthday!
Hey guys!
I am really excited our twins turned three today!
I remember last year posting about them turning two and boy did the year fly by!
We had the normal family over for coffee and cake and my wife made everyone Swedish meatballs and mashed potatoes for dinner. It was delicious!
We were up until about 1230 this morning preparing everything; wrapping presents, decorating, and finishing up the Cakes.
Yeah that's right I said cakes, two of them. The girls each got their own cake. Both were Minnie Mouse, which they chose themselves and they also got to choose the flavor strawberry for one and chocolate for the other.
The guests stayed from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m. so the kids got 4 hours of good quality family time. Everyone seemed really happy and it's was mostly chill. My wife has mastered the operations and doesn't stress out much about it and it always seems to go off perfectly.
Amazing to see how much they have grown in the past year and I am very proud of my girls!
We missed the American family a lot today but spent some time on the video chat so that was nice too.
We sang lots of songs as well. Here is a German twist to the American Happy Birthday song.
Happy Birthday to you
Marmalade im Schuh
(Jelly in your shoe)
Aprikose in die Hose
(Apricots in the pants)
Happy Birthday to you
Nice photos, good lookin' cake! :D
Thank you!

Well Happy Birthday to your girls!
You made the cakes? Someone has great cake decorating skills!
Love the song. So you sing it part in German and part in English?
My wife of course! I wish I was so talented. She’s good with the fondent. Yup they sing it like that, I added the translation in the brackets. Looking at it it’s a little confusing. Thanks a lot @owasco! 😁

Happy Birthday!
I wondered why the Germans don't have an Alles Gute zum Geburtstag song. Pretty much all of them seem to sing Happy Birthday to you.
Alles Gute zum Geburtstag für deine zwilling! That cake looks good :)
Dankeschön, war ganz lecker! ;)

Happy birthday twins! Looks like a nice celebration! Two cakes also...Nice!
My brother and I are born on the same day...9 years apart though so we had dual celebrations usually.

I was really nice! That’s crazy about the shared birthday, so curious how that often works out. My brother and I are 15 years apart and he was born 10 days before my birthday. I was hoping he would be born on my birthday
I used to complain that my younger brother used to play with my older more than me so mum said I'll have one just for you...Turned out perfectly because @tarazkp was born on my birthday. Funny huh?
Well wish

Two birthdays in one sounds like a lot of work. On the plus side, you get it over in one hit.
