Peek A-Boo, Now I'm Two!

 We'd been discussing Charlotte's birthday with her weeks in advance so that she would be prepared for the excitement and special spoiling.  She would say, "My birthday is coming up and that means cupcakes and cookies!"  We had a special birthday brunch between meeting family flying into the airport and running errands.  Our sweet girl woke up with a nasty nose and seemingly the beginnings of a cold.  She kind of dragged through the morning but her energy and mood picked up as the day went on!  We were thankful that it didn't interefere with her Fairy Garden Party (pics to come).

 Flowers from Daddy. 

After dinner and blowing out candles on the cake, we opened presents.  Charlotte, you may not remember this birthday but there were many special moments shared.  Several family members traveled to visit you and attend your party.  You received a craft/snack table that you have shared every day since with your brother.  You immediately and lovingly placed one of your dolls in the baby swing you received.  The fairy princess costume given to you was so darling that it simply had to be worn at your party the next day!  Mommy's 30 year-old Baby Victoria had been restored and when you saw her you ran screaming excitedly, "Oh Gosh, oh gosh!"  You received and immediately favored a cake and candle serving set.  Among the many clothes given, you loved the boutique dress with the large purple flower and tulle skirt.  Purple is a favorite here! You are so sweet and so gracious.  Every word you speak is precious in sound.  You love, love us and we love you - you have truly completed our family.  We could not ask for anything more in a daughter and you will be my baby until the day, many years from now, you belong to your future husband.
