My Twins Received Expensive Birthday Gifts From a Friend…

It was my twins 7th birthday this weekend and we had a small party. Each twin was allowed to invite six friends. This small group of 14 then went to Chambers Pottery (my aunt’s studio…shameless plug!!!) where they each made a bank. Some kiddies made literal “piggy” banks, others made snowmen or trains, one girl even made a chicken!

The party was great. Flawless in fact. It started on time (11am) and ended on time (1pm) and the kids had a blast and learned something in the process.

When we got home, my twinnies could not WAIT to rip into their gifts. I let them open one by one, taking note of what each friend gave so they can mention it in their thank you card.

THEN it happened! We opened up one bag and there it was….a Nintendo DS XL. No, not a DS GAME, but actually the hardware itself. The next twin opened their gift and TA DA… another Nintendo DS XL. I was shocked. These are VERY expensive gifts ($150 each) and were given by a VERY hardworking family. Now I should mention, yes, I live in New York City, but we come from a very middle class area of NYC, not the “Housewives of NYC” kinda place, so gifts like this are not expected to say the least. 

Happy Holidays from Alexis and Ryleigh

We asked their mom a few questions and here is what she had to say about her twinnies and the holidays:

For the past few days we’ve been taking a closer look at the HP Envy. HP has teamed up with Twiniversity so we can help them spread the word about this great new printer that would be a great addition to our Twiniversity Families lives. On Thursday we learned all about it’s smooth sleek style and Friday brought info about the web based printing.

Today we are talking about the printing itself! The ENVY offers complete versatility and photo printing in one. This printer can print photos, make copies, scan reprints, produce prints from the Web and use eFax® to fax without a phone line.
