This is a magical time of year for parents and kids alike. And a holiday highlight is getting to meet the big guy himself: Santa. Pictured are Kayla and Emily at three years meeting Santa for the first time. They look so sweet, they must know they're on the "Nice" list this year!
Thanks to mom Sandra R. for sharing the holiday cheer.

Nothing says "Road trip!" like a bed in a hotel room. 6 month old Sydney and Zachary check out the comfort level while on a family vacation.

Sydney and Zachary (6 months pictured) are getting ready to hang with the family at a pool party. Nothing could be better on a nice summer day.
Thanks to mom Theresa D. for sharing her little bathing beauties with us.

Gemini Crickets hosted a carnival-themed Spring Picnic this year for our memebers. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon and welcome in the warm South Bay Area weather. Thank you to the hard-working party planning team, we couldn't have fun without you!
Sometimes being a twin just isn't enough--we need friends too! Here we have three friends taking a walk to Deer Hollow together. They could *almost* be triplets. ;)

While some of us are looking for hidden treasure today, Sarah A-K found hers last St. Patrick's day in the form of her wee ones Elspeth and Niall.
At only two weeks old, it looks like little Elspeth is already spinning tales for brother Niall.
Have a wonderful treasure-filled day!

Natural Bridges State Beach in Santa Cruz is home to the beautiful wintering population of Monarch Butterflies from October through March. In a good butterfly year, as many as 200,000 butterflies can be spotted in the eucalyptus grove. Of course, that's not the only natural wonder attracted to the spot and with smiles as cute as these who needs butterflies?
Thanks to mom Thereas D. for sharing Sydney and Zachary at age 9 months enjoying the beauties of nature.

That's how we know Spring has arrived around here. Of course our favorite flocks tend to look like this:
Thanks to Mari B. for sharing her girls Naomi, Lilli and Elise enjoying a favorite rite of Spring, visiting the sheep farm!

It's been such a mild winter, it's hard to remember there is snow to be found! Kayla and Emily are lucky enough to have found some Heavenly snow with dad Dave R.
Perfect for two winter-time angels. Thanks to mom Sandra R. for sharing.

Between all the sibling squabbling that comes with having more than one kid of the same age, are the moments that make you go "awww". Mom Jessica caught a sweet moment where Jesse (25 months) is feeding little brother Jackson (25 months). Thanks for sharing the sharing!

One last look back at the holidays as 11 month old Zachary (left) Sydney (right) wait for their first visit from Santa.
Thanks to mom Theresa D. for sharing her cuties. I hope Santa was good to them all.

Didn't get what you wanted this year from Santa? After this photo shoot with Santa (at the Gemini Crickets Holiday cookie exchange), 2-1/2 year old Sam and Alex were pretty sure they didn't want Santa to come to their house on Christmas, presents or not!
*names have been changed to protect the guilty (but adorable)
What happened here? Was it a localized tornado? A wild animal attack? No, Dear Readers, it was two angelic 2-year-old girls, hereafter referred to as "Dis" and "Aster".
On the morning of the incident, "Daddy" sent "Mommy" a link to a video of a baby monitor capturing a pair of twins climbing out of their crib. Daddy thought it was funny, since his twin girls always slept securely in their cribs. Mommy recalls thinking at the time, "Thank god we don't have that problem." Little did she know what awaited her that very afternoon.
Naptime had seemed to go well. Yet, when Mommy opened the door, she was stunned to see this --
Our perpetrators, Dis and Aster, had figured out how to escape their cribs. Using their newly discovered climbing skills, Dis and Aster had then scaled the changing table and opened the closet door - its latch unbabyproofed since it had appeared unreachable. The intrepid duo then pulled every item of clothing out of the closet, every piece of tissue paper out of the box, every baby wipe out of the containers, and every single diaper out of the bag.
One can only imagine the smiles that must have been on those cherubic faces as they reveled in their new freedom. Yet, even in their glee, they managed to stay quiet enough not to alert Mommy!
It's that time of year--colds, coughs and runny noses abound. Good thing Dr. Cole is on the case for brother Hunter. Mom Melinda G. had to share her boys having fun with dad's REAL stethoscope. Looks like Hunter's in good hands...or not, considering he's looking for a second opinion on Web MD.

November is all about family. Especially feeding our families in both body and soul. Our double click post for today comes from a mom who understands that other multiple parents will really get what's happening here.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful, personal photograph. And what a way to kick off November.
Feeling like a mama hen always counting her chicks is nothing new to mothers of multiples. Here Amy M. takes it a step further by dressing (then) 6 month old Annalise and Zayn as chicks for their first Halloween. And nothing could be sweeter. Peep!

MOM Elisabeth K. had no trouble decideding which brother would be Tigger and which would be Pooh. Even at one their personalities shone through. Eric bounced around, happy as anything, just like Tigger, while Mark was a little more deliberate and content.
Thanks for sharing such a fun Halloween memory!

Bad puns aside, what kid doesn't love a Cozy Coupe car? Push 'em, line 'em up, suds 'em or drive 'em - these cars are endless fun as 27-month-olds Ronan (front) and William demonstrate.
Thank you Lizzy for this fun photo of your boys.

We love how so many parents choose to capture their ever growing multiples in the same setting over time. It gives an amazing perspective of how fast they change. MOM Solange I shares three pictures of her girls, Lulu and Bibi, at 4, 8 and 15 months of age on the same couch:
Of course, she notes how much easier it was to photograph them when they weren't so mobile!

2.5 year old Elise and Stella had their first swim lesons this summer and their teacher swears they must be part mermaid. MOM Valerie T. agrees, as they never want to leave the water. These underwater shots of the girls were captured at a recent pool party day.

Claire (left) and Lauren (right) are 2 years old. They're wearing their favorite outfits which, if they had their way, they would wear everyday. Can you believe the girls started choosing, or whining about, their clothes at 14 months old! Mom Sabrina I. fears this is only the beginning.

Twins William (in stripes) and Ronan (in dots) each have their own bed, but this is how they prefer to sleep, side-by-side. Mom Lizzy loves to steal peeks at her sleeping boys.
They are 27 months old in the January 2010 photo.

This is the Jessica N's boys Jesse (r) and Jackson experiencing their first ride in a Costco double shopping cart. They are 17 months in this picture.
Those double shopping carts are the only way some of us parents of multiples will do our grocery shopping with kids in tow.

Just shy of two years of age, Allison and Andrew were members of a wedding party (the brave bride had 5 children in her wedding party!)

Kids either love or hate the petting zoo. Some kids flee and hide while others, like Frankie & Aubrey Hoffman think that feeding goats at nearby Happy Hollow is neat, so long as it's their dad whose hand gets all the slobber.

Andrew and Allison LOVE visiting Gizdich Ranch in Watsonville, though we always wonder if the owners should weigh the kids before AND after picking strawberries! Not sure how many actually make it into the basket! Strawberry season officially opened there on May 7, 2011.
