Charlotte's 2nd Birthday Party

We planned a low key park birthday party for Charlotte since we had our house on the market and were in the middle of looking for a new home. Well, the weather had other plans, so we ended up moving the party to our house the day of the party. Charlotte had such a wonderful time playing with all of her school friends and her best family friends.

Charlotte's favorite part of her b'day weekend was having Uncle Doug, Aunt Katie, and "Mah-ison" stay with us. She loves baby Madison!

Happy 2nd Birthday Charlotte!

My best girl is two and I can hardly believe it. She has brought so much joy, laughter, pure sweetness and sunshine to our family and we are so thankful she is ours. She is full of personality at two years old and keeps us all on our toes! She's a climber and we constantly catch her standing on the kitchen table hanging from the chandelier, standing in the dishwasher chunking dirty dishes out, or crawling on the coffee table to show off her latest dance moves. She is full of hugs and kisses and absolutely loves blowing kisses to anyone and everyone she sees. Our favorite thing she says is "ah-k" (okay).

Her favorite thing to do is name all of the children in her class in her precious, sweet little speech impediment voice. I've got to record her saying "Cah-yeens (Collins), Ah-yever (Oliver), Cahrsie (Carson), Merwy (Mary Chandler), Hah-nah (Hannah) and Wivy (Livy). She will repeat them over and over and try to give you a daily behavior report on each of them. She absolutely LOVES school. She screams on the mornings she stays home with me because she wants to go to school with Daddy and William. Grant takes them to school each day and I pick up.

I hope I can engrain this sweet, innocent profile in my mind forever.

She is proving to be a picky eater like her big brother (insert major eye roll). She still likes baby food pouches, spaghetti, and tacos. Her teachers swear she is a good eater at school, even eating green beans?!, but I have a hard time believing that.

At school they refer to her as the "little momma" because she is very nurturing and in tune to the other children when they are upset. She will get their pacifiers or lovey from their cubby if they're crying and say "it's ah-k." She is the oldest child in her class and will move up to Toddler 2 in May.

She goes to sleep around 6:45-7pm and usually wakes up around 6am. She takes a 2 hour nap from 12-2 usually. She loves her bubba, Mommy and Daddy and pretty much runs our household. We all tip toe around her when she is in one of her toddler moods. I can only imagine it's foreshadowing what our house will be like in 13 years.

Charlotte and I love going to story time at the library every Tuesday morning together. I miss William going with us but I've let him skip school several times to come with us even though he says it's "babyish". Charlotte, you are pure sunshine and we love our precious, beautiful TWO year old so much!

Christmas in Texas

We had a wonderful Christmas in Texas this year! William was giddy with excitement for months leading up to our trip about being with his cousins. It's so much fun all being in Granny's house together, even though it gets a little wild with 5 children under age 7. Payton and Finley doted on Charlotte the entire time which made it easy for me :) William and Tyler became big buds and spent most of the time playing race cars.

Sweet cousins!!! Crazy to think Payton was only 7 months old when we got married and now she's almost 8!!!

The boys and Uncle Grant

The highlight of the trip was riding the Polar Express to the North Pole. We went when William was 7 months (his first Christmas) and it was a blast going back this year and seeing the magic through William's eyes. He was SO excited and interested.

They bring you hot chocolate and warm chocolate cookies.

Waiting for Santa!!!

How cute is she?! And those eyes!!!

Getting their golden ticket stamped.

So happy and enthralled!!! Christmas morning our family of 4 and Granny woke up at the lake. William was thrilled with his hot wheels track that Santa brought him!

And Santa brought our baby girl a baby doll that looks just like her!

After we packed the car at Granny's, we headed to Waco on Christmas morning for the kids to open their gifts from Granny. Of course everything she gave them was a HUGE hit, probably better than Santa...hahaha.
