celebrating charlotte's 2nd birthday!

We had so much fun celebrating charlotte's second birthday this weekend!  

The lady of the hour started out a little crabby, but quickly turned that frown around :)

even colin was very good at letting charlotte be the center of attention.  

She had clearly retained her knowledge of gift opening from Christmas.  Such a polite little girl, she handed me each scrap of wrapping paper, telling me, "thank you mommy."

 these two came to party.

I get to celebrate too.  Jan. 21 was a big day for me.

digging in to her birthday cupcake!

she ate all the frosting off the top, then handed the cake back to me.

her sweet teachers got her this birthday balloon.. even if they did think her birthday was on the 13th...

charlotte got lots of great presents, mostly having to do with her dollies.  Here she is interrogating daddy about whether she could get in the pack and play with her baby.

She knew just what to do with the baby bottles too.  She's been force feeding the whole family for the last day now too.

So nice to be able to celebrate with family this year.  So hard to believe that she'll be TWO on Wednesday!
