Charley's Birthday Celebrations

Charley had so many fun birthday celebrations with different friends and family leading up to her actual birthday, which was spent in New York City with Momma and Daddy.  I love how she was able to get extra special time with these sweet people before we left for our trip!




Laney turned 6 and Charley turned 5...they loved having their own special celebration, including a DQ ice cream cake and slumber party!!!





Keyton came over for a play-date and brought birthday cupcakes!!!



Charley loved her present from Aunt Kari and Diana...I would have loved it better had they been here to actually help with the assembly of the large craft in that box!






We went to Chuy's with Sam, Josh, Rachel, Amma and Granddad after church.  She got a new Barbie and outfits and a fun book for the plane from Sam.  Amma and Granddad gave her money for her trip to NYC...money well spent!



Marilyn came over the day before we left...five $5 for the big girl turning 5!!!  

Valentines Weekend


Daddy was gone on the Men's Retreat for church during part of Valentines weekend, so the girls and I went to Kentucky.  Of course Daddy came up as soon as he was finished.  We had such a great weekend!  From the minute we got to Kentucky, Charley was telling Granddad she had a surprise for him and that it was hidden somewhere in the house.  We went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner on Saturday night, and Charley told him she couldn't wait any longer and wanted to give him his present as soon as we got home.  She said, "Granddad, did you get me anything?"  He said, "Ok, I'll be right back."  I just about fell over when he walked out to his 4-Runner and came back with Valentines for the girls...that he purchased all by himself!!!  Sweetest. Thing. Ever.














Granny Martha gave us all the best Valentines gift...she COOKED!  And it was wonderful...better than wonderful...my mouth is watering at this very minute just thinking about it!  And Aunt Katie watched the girls for a few hours so Momma, Daddy, Amma and Granddad could go see a movie!  I love how we spent our Valentines weekend!
