We started celebrating Charlotte's birthday on Sunday January 29th and we had her last birthday celebration Sunday February 26th. I mean, every one year old that you know needs a 4 week long birthday celebration. Our last celebration was at Great Grandma Ann's house. Grandma made Charlotte a homemade red-velvet cake with her special frosting. Delicious. Even if Charlotte didn't know the different between different cake tastes, this preggo momma does know the difference. It was amazing.
Seeing her cake for the first time. She looks impressed...
...and ready for a sample.
charlotte's favorite part of the day... presents. She can tear through presents like no other.
"Happy Birthday to you!"
Charlotte: "I wish for a large piece of cake and a bottle afterwards."
She didn't exactly blow out the candle herself... but her wish came true...
Yay. Time to eat cake!
She loves to share... especially with Great Aunt Kathy.
Even though it was their first time meet, she thought sharing with her Great Great Aunt Doris Jean was a great idea. She shared lots of bites with her.
I love this picture. She just woke up from her nap. She has on her party dress, her sideways crown, and some big 'ole blue eyes. She is ready to go!!!
One this I truely miss about being within a close proximity of my family are the events like these. I miss everyone being together for a birthday. I miss everyone singing "Happy Birthday"... well, all of the aunts, some of the cousins, and Grandma singing it. The uncles and most of the boys were watching the Illini game in the big room. But it was just like when I was younger. We all met at Grandma's, ate a big meal of my choosing (turkey of course), and had an amazing time together. Thank you, everyone, for coming and spending the day with Charlotte. She loves all of you and she loves all of the attention. We miss you all more than you know.
