Last year at Christmas, we already knew my DIL was pregnant (they'd been trying/hoping for almost 3 yrs.), but they waited until Christmas to tell us that they were expecting twins. The twins (boys) were born on my b'day this past July. We spent Christmas evening with them this year. They live on 30 miles away, so I've been able to see the boys often and have been needed to help with them. They are such a joy. They are fraternal twins and look totally different--and their little personalities are different, too. I think this makes them even more fun.
