Trendy Tot Tuesday: Gideon Scott and Harper Grace Burtka-Harris

The story behind David Burtka and Neil Patrick Harris’ kids is a sweet one. The twins were born via a surrogate, who was implanted with two eggs, one fertilised by David and the other by Neil. Amazingly, both eggs took, and little Gideon and Harper were born! The best part is, both dads have agreed not to find out who the biological father of each child is. After all, as Neil says, “we are their parents and I love them implicitly”.

We just know these kids are going to be legen… wait for it, dary. Legendary. Just look at that swag emanating through the screen. It’s hard to believe the twins are already almost six-years-old this year.

Kindergarten fits these two well. #firstdayofschool

It feels like just yesterday that these cuties started their first day of preschool.

First day of preschool! Look at what the teachers have in store for them… #socrazy

Fast forward approximately three years and the rambunctious duo have graduated preschool. Proud dad Neil marked that occasion with an Instagram post dedicated to the already Insta-famous twins.

The pair sure know how to ham it up for the camera. Who do you think they got their posing skills from? Neil or David?

Fashionis-tots.

They even make eating coconuts look fun.

Drinking the juice from coconuts and eating out the flesh is such a treat!

Having a great time in colour-coordinated umbrellas, raincoats and wellies.

Even though it's raining, the warm weather of NYC makes for a very #GoodFriday. Enjoy your weekend!

They love to play dress up.

For today only, Gideon and Harper's dance class allows them to wear a costume of their choosing. #BestSwanLakeEver

Matching outfits for the twins for Easter. Aren’t they just about the cutest Easter egg hunters out there?

Been having a wonderful Easter Sunday with @DavidBurtka and my two favorite bunnies.

They certainly get their love for costumes from their dads. David and Neil have been known to go all out for halloween. Case in point:

Happy Halloween from Gotham City!!

The twins have already captured our hearts, and with such awesome dads, we can’t wait to see what the future holds for them.

Happy Easter from the Burtka-Harris bunnies and one lil' chick!
