Birthday Party


We celebrated Charlie's second birthday with friends and family at our home. Deep dish pizza and chocolate sweet and salty cake were served. Charlie was pretty tired as people were arriving and retreated to his bedroom and the hallway with Pa. Only until our neighbors came over did Charlie light up and realize that it was party time and it was all for him. He received many wonderful gifts and has had an amazing time exploring and discovering them all. Thank you! Charlie's dear Mae Mae flew up from California for the occasion and got many snuggles, kisses and in depth conversations from Charlie. She was amazed at how much he's grown in height and in his speech. We've got a talker on our hands people...I just don't know where he gets it.

Ginny and Meg fluffing and primping the house.


The red lanterns I had to drive all over the city to find as I bought them one day before the Chinese New Year.


"Sweet and Salty" cake from the cookbook Baked written by the owners of the same named shop. This cake is crazy rich, crazy good and only made by crazy people. It's not the easiest cake I've ever made. I actually made it for Charlie's Grammy for her Birthday two weeks before and burned the caramel 4 times! Ahhh! I had better luck with Charlie's cake, but I tell ya, it still wasn't for the faint of heart. Thanks KC for frosting it for me...I just don't have the patience to make it look pretty.


Charlie and Pa's favorite past time. Hangin' with each other.


This is what Charlie looked like as guest were arriving. I looked like he needed a nap.


Cut to five minutes later...this is what he looked like when Michael and Maddie showed up!


Thanks a lot for the socks Uncle Will, I play with them all the time - Love Charlie.


The most beautiful guest in my opinion. Baby Josie!

Sparklers for the sparkler.


Ahhhh....Chocolate Clown Coma.

Charlie opening gifts and loving being the center of attention.
