The twins had a meltdown at Papa's 105th b-day party?? That's wrong!! They were there for over THREE hours! They charmed the pants off everyone there!! After over three hours of entertaining the crowd, the two four years olds were tired, and understandably so! What is a "meltdown" anyway? A little more obstreperously energetic with a few tears, or a screaming tantrum face down on the floor?
