Twins Silvia and Lynette are now 6 years old. Time has flown for parents Brett and Brenna. Raising twins is an adventure for sure. While identical in appearance at birth, the twins have always had unique personalities, and now they're developing into their own little people. Silvia, who seemed to grow on air for a good chunk of her toddler years, is now the taller of the two, while Lynette is the one with the smaller appetite at the moment. Both girls have thinned out in the last few years, which Brenna and Brett attribute to their nonstop playing.
