My Terrific Twin

I have always considered it a blessing to have a twin sister. Carrie and I surprised our family the day of our birth! Shocked, excited, and most likely overwhelmed [with joy], were our parents over the unexpected delivery of not one but two baby girls! I'm grateful to share the same birth date, looks, likes and dislikes with my identical twin. Carrie has been a support to me throughout my life. She is always so willing to share her talents with others. Thank you Carrie for "rescuing" our family blog by using your creativity and computer skills!

Who's Who?

Happy, Happy Birthday! What cute pictures of you and Carrie! I think you are the one on the left in both pictures . . . am I right?

Have a wonderful day!

I believe that Christine is the one in the dress and Carrie in the cute red pants! What a sweet tribute, Christine. You are both blessed to have each other.

So the baby one is throwing me a little but I would guess Carrie is the twin on the left if you are looking at the picture. In the older picture - Christine is in the dress and Carrie is in the pants. I may be way off, but I am the only one who can tell my brothers apart in baby pictures. :) And I think you both are pretty terrific!!

So your mom didn't know she was pregnant with twins? I bet that is the best birth story ever. And your blog looks great. I love the colors.

Ummm, I didn't know your Dad had Indian blood in him, or your Mom. I do know that my Dad had Apache' and Spanish. So that explains me.
Wait....I think I remember your Mom saying she had some Cherokee some where down the line. You'll need to check that. I think you might want to start asking some questions....... You know, that Don has been known to be a shady character. BAAAHAAAA!
That Lamanite thing is not going to fly here!

Your new blog looks great! Growing up I always wanted a twin. At least I have a sister, what would we do without them?

Stephani said...

How wonderful to have a built in best friend!

Well I think your blog always looks cute! But I like the new look. And I love the photos . . . the other time I saw your sister was on lds.org with the new nursery manual :)

You two are so cute!!! I can't remember who is technically older but I want to say it is you Christine. What happened to Carrie's blog? I love being able to see what you all are up to these days! :)

This seems like a preview of my summer - Kelli, my daughter-in-law, is carrying twin boys due in August. I'm accepting all twin advice. I've already quizzed your mom.

Hmm, not sure I have a good idea with the babies (Carrie on the right maybe?). But in the second, I think Carrie's on the left in the dress (Max's smile). Then the closeup - I think Carrie's on the right - Amelia's face.

So cute. It seems like yesterday I was playing legos and barbies with those two little girls. Yes, I can totally tell you guys apart even then. I hope you are doing well.

Christine said...

SO, WHO IS WHO?

Picture #1: Christine on right, Carrie on left.

Picture #2: Christine wearing red pants, Carrie wearing dress.

Picture #3: Christine on left, Carrie on right.

Oh my! What a surprise that must have been for your mom! I think Carrie is great as well! It must have been so fun to have a twin sister to grow up with.

What a sweet tribute to your sister. I would guess that in the first two pictures you are the one on the right. You are on the left in the bottom picture. You two are such pretty little girls. I don't think that anyone would have a hard time telling my two apart!

Neil and Ms.T said...

#3 has to be wrong! Carrie looks like Sarah, So I thought it was you/Christine. What? Are you sure.

Melanie said...

What cute twins!

So, I figured out your birthday is in February. :) Sorry I missed it!

I didn't know you were a twin! I am too :) In fact your pictures remind me of me and my sister with the same hair cuts as we had!
