Twin B-day Party:a smashing success!!!

The girls have done it again; their Sunday brunch birthday blow-out was a complete hit! Everyone munched on yummy treats while battling the winds next to Do's still all-too-fabulous pool. Gigi even made a special appearance, direct from Phoenix, AZ, to commemorate the occasion. The twins stumped us all with their "Which Twin Was It?" quiz, which had us locked in fierce competition with five finalists! (One of which, surprisingly, was my dear old dad). Victoria, of course, took home the prize, while Mark's mother Ruth was given a special consolation prize, one which she refused to let go of. Many Twin fans were present, including neighbors Shaun and Myra, Arizona native Steve Anna, and new addition Roy, who will hopefully be returning some time soon. The entire afternoon was too fab for words. The twins have proved themselves, once again, to be the all-star hostesses with the excellent cheese-and-egg souffle.

Review: Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants

Di has a little bit of catching up to do... Do and I agree- Sisterhood is absolutely fabulous! Four friends, best friends since childhood (much like the twins and some of their comrades) find a magical pair of jeans that fit them all perfectly. Since the girls will all be separated for the first time over the summer, they decide to share the pants, sending them from girl to girl, along with long letters describing their experiences. Over the weeks, the pants help each girl find the support and strength they need to get through some of the most difficult times of their lives. This movie, first discovered by yours truly and her mother, is a soon-to-be favorite, a funny feel-good that also has us diving for the Kleenex and giving each other horrified, misty-eyed glances. Di, an intervention has to be held- there is no way you can pass up this flick.
