4th August 2015 - Noah and Anna's 10th Birthday at the house in D.C.
"Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday Anna and Noah, happy birthday to you!"
Sang the assembled crowd.
Noah and Anna blew out their candles and each cut a piece of cake. Donna handed it out to prevent any from being dropped.
"Presents!"
Josh called and C.J. smacked him round the head.
"It's their birthday, not yours." She whispered.
Abbey, Josh and Donna's 8 year old daughter came up to Josh and C.J.
"Hi Aunt C.J." Abbey said as she hugged Josh.
"What's wrong darling?" Josh asked, a concerned look on his face.
"Nothing." Abbey said, and Josh nodded.
"Aunt C.J. where's baby Tessa?"
"She's with Uncle Toby."
"Thank you!" Abbey said and ran off towards Toby.

Donna started bringing presents into the room for Anna and Noah to open. Anna sat in the middle of the carpet surrounded by presents; she had her father's dark, wavy hair but her mother's eyes and nose. Noah sat next to his twin sister, separated by a wall of presents; he had blonde hair like his mother's but not as light and his Grandpa David's chin. Once the twins were set to opening presents; supervised by Grandpa Leo, Granddad Jed and Granny Abbey; Donna wandered over to Molly and Huck, with 6 month old baby Joanie perched on her hip. She greeted the two teenagers and thanked them for coming. Donna then moved round to Sam and his wife Lizzie; their daughter Chantelle aged 9 and their son John aged 7.
"Governor." Donna teased. "When will you start running for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?"
Sam and Lizzie glanced at each other.
"In the next few months, we're aiming for 2018."
Donna grinned.
"When will you tell the others?"
"At dinner, tomorrow." Lizzie said. "Before we fly back to California on Saturday."
"We came for the party," Sam explained. "And to talk to everyone."
On the other side of the room Toby sat with his and C.J.'s 18 month old adopted daughter, Tessa on his lap. Abbey Lyman stood next to Uncle Toby with 2 fingers clamped tightly in Tessa's fist, smiling at the world around her.
