Celebrating 14!

After the 13th birthday blowout last year, we decided it would be ok to have a low key celebration for Charley's 14th birthday!  Craig wouldn't call it low key, because we celebrated for days with multiple special meals and treats.  She had her birthday shake from Burger Republic, birthday morning donuts and coffee on the way to church, carpool birthday donuts right before Spring Break, brunch with Mamy and Pops, birthday dinner at Maggiano's with Amma and Grandad, ice cream sandwich from The Baked Bear, 5th and Broad with Harper, the snackle box at The Graduate hotel, Swig, a steak dinner with her Daddy and Dumplins.  Good grief...I feel like I need an extra workout just for typing that list!

Charley and Harper had the best time celebrating their birthdays in Nashville.  They laughed, ate, shopped and took pictures...I mean posed for pictures...all over town!  

Happy 14th Birthday to my beautiful, determined, smart, ditsy, always on the go girl...I love you!
