Twin Baby and 45th Anniversary Charms for my Charms Bracelets

Gold charms for charm bracelets, sterling silver charm bracelet charms, and 14kt and 10kt white and yellow gold necklace charms had multiplied as I approached my old age, yet I never stopped acquiring new charms to my extensive charms jewelry collection. Nothing brightened my day more than looking down at my wrist and appreciating my charm jewelry populated with sterling silver charms and gold charms for a charm bracelet. This year, I had two major Rembrandt gold charm purchases in mind. Charm bracelet charms had to be purchased for both the birth of my twin grandchildren and the celebration of our 45th wedding anniversary.

It was hard to believe it was already our 45th wedding anniversary! With the delivery of the twins imminent, we opted to stay close to home. Of course, one of the 45th anniversary charms was added to my charms bracelet. Daniel asked me for advice on his "push" present for Elizabeth. I immediately started to research www.chains-and-charms.com. There was much rejoicing when the twins were born healthy and happy. My credit card was "smoking" as I ordered from www.chains-and-charms.com. I ordered two customized birth certificate charms for Elizabeth's charms bracelet. I also ordered 14K white gold charms bracelets for my newest grandchildren, Daniel Joseph, aka "DJ", and Stephanie Ann, aka "Cutie." I started their charms bracelets with customized birth certificate charms. Elizabeth was thrilled with her "push" present charms from Daniel.

When the twins were baptized, I added baptism charms to both of their charms bracelets. Daniel added two baptismal charms to Elizabeth's charms bracelet. Elizabeth and Daniel asked Laura and Steven to be the twins' godparents. They gave Laura a godmother charm for her charms bracelet. Our family tradition of charms and charms bracelets was flourishing. I silently thanked my parents for starting the charms and charms bracelets family tradition.

When Elizabeth returned back to their veterinary practice, she did hire a nanny. She said she didn't want me to be "tied down" with two babies at my age. Little did she know, those babies were delaying the "aging process."
