Our twins are 16. They are so grown up. I couldn't be prouder of them.
We had a meal with Nanny, Grandad and the three cousins. Nanny brought out her speciality Birthday cakes and we sang Happy Birthday.
For their Birthday they had lovely gifts and money from family far and wide and some days out are planned later in the year, but the most special moment was when Chef gave T-g a phone that he'd got with his own money. It's got Android and can go on the internet and can do allsorts of whizzy things (except make tea). It's the white version of his own phone that he got himself in black. He was more excited to give her this present than about anything else. This is so typical of him.
They are a close pair, especially around their birthday when they refer to each other as 'my twin'. Just lovely to capture a Birthday 'twins' moment as he showed her all the features of her phone.
Here's an old photo taken in 2000, when they had a Fancy Dress 5th Birthday party. Tg was a Fairy Princess and Chef a Policeman. Big bro Roman (7) was a clown and Smurf (3) was a ladybird (with a homemade costume I made from one leg of a pair of my black leggings and some fluffy red fabric and black felt dots) he was very cute.
They all had a big, special party when they turned 5. Seems like 5 minutes ago. Love these old memories (because the reality was pretty hectic and busy with only 4 years between all four of them).
It doesn't seem 5 minutes etc. How quickly the time goes and how precious it is. The twins are growing into two lovely young adults. They'll always have each other - how good is that? Love them all xxx

I do hope my twins are that close at that age. They have just turned 4. My boy is absolutely desperate that when he grows up he won't be a twin any more. He is also desperate to have his own birthday, bless. They look absolutely lovely children - all 4 of them
