A Birthday Party!!

Well, I can't believe Charlie is one year old already... Where does the time go? She is growing and changing so fast, and is such a ray of sunshine in our lives. She has taken a few steps, and is bacoming a better walker day by day. Soon, she will be running circles around me I'm sure!!

We had Charlie's first birthday party this weekend, and it was so much fun. We had some severe weather on Friday, and I was nervous about how I was going to fit 30+ people in my living room if it rained during the party. But, the weather on Saturday was PERFECT!! Warm and sunny, with a little breeze. Charlie really seemed to enjoy her special day - playing with her friends, and visiting with Grandpa and Uncle Christopher. She seemed to have fun with the pinata, enjoyed her birthday cake - though she did get off on a slow and dainty start, she finally gave into the yumminess of the pink frosting!! Overall, her party was a great success, and we can't wait to do it all over again in California this August!!

The house before everybody arrived.

Taking a break mid-party to play with my blocks.

Waiting for my birthday cake.

Daddy helped me blow out the candles.

Getting a little bit of direction...

Figuring out what to do with the cake.

Now I get it!!

This is YUMMY!!

Taking my turn at the pinata. I got to go first!
