Happy Birthday, Miss Charlotte! What a fun day, we have celebrated all day long. We planned to bring the girls breakfast in bed, but when they woke before us at 6:45 we settled for breakfast in the bedroom. All day long I would look at Charlotte and say, "wait a minute, something looks different about you.....is it..... hold on....you look bigger...are you older?" and she would say, with wide eyes, "I am older, I'm free!"
Then presents galore! Here she is showing off her VTech computer from Nona. I heard her tell Sissy that she got a "princess IPAD" and I really hope she tells her teacher that tomorrow at preschool!

Hadley loved the jewelry box I got Charlotte. It really is a perfect baby toy, a mirror, music, and a tiny twirling girl. This kept her busy for a long time.
After church and a nap we ate pink birthday cake.
They were distracted by the Polly Pockets' storyline. The one you got her is in there, Becca!
We ended up at Mexican restaurant for dinner when the place we had planned on was closed. It turned out to be perfect. We have begun a mini tradition of going around and all telling the birthday girl some things we love about her, ways that God has made her very special. It was sweet to hear Lily Kate tell Charlotte that she loves her because she "always plays silly with her". Dinner ended with the entire waitstaff coming over to sing to Charlotte. If you know my children well you know that Lily Kate would have been singing along with them but this kind of stuff makes Charlotte freeze. She wore the sombrero but she was pretty stone faced the whole time.
Quick mood switch when the ice cream was served
We love you, Charlotte! You are a wonderful little girl, vibrant and full of life. You are a mix of goofy and cuddly sweet that still keeps us guessing. Happy birthday to our newest three year old!
