April 2016 & Happy 2nd Birthday Charley!

April was a fun, birthday filled month!  We celebrated Lily's 4th at school after returning from Spring break.  We brought in cookies and a book (a "birthday present" for the class) to add to the class library.  Charley had her birthday party on my actual bday, which was sweet.  We had a Curious George party for our little monkey, and Ms. Holly did a little music class (just like someone else's 2nd bday). ;)

C had a great 2 year old checkup.  She's 10% in height (31 3/4") and 4% in weight (22 lbs).  So she seems like a big girl to me but is still pretty tiny... tiny but mighty. ;)  Can't believe my baby is 2! Looking forward to a fun year with my big girls!

Lily's 4th celebration at school.

And Ariel #2. ;)

Our first Lollipops concert!


The awesome little picnic table Hogan made for the girls!

Super Charley. :)


Solo story time with C!

Aside from playing with the bubbles, she was happy to sit in the windowsill and read Pete the Cat. ;)


Hawaiian dancing (inspired by Lilo & Stitch).







Brave girl taking care of her "bumpies."

"Charley's gonna be 2!"



A very special day with Annie -- celebrating Lil's bday at the American Girl cafe!







Grandma and the girls have a thing for bird houses so we had to check out the bird house contest at Winghaven. :)



 

And Annie's fairy garden birthday party was at Winghaven, too.  So cute!


C is Lily Ellibee's glasses (Lil's American Girl doll).  Haha!

I just love this Ariel watercolor Lily made!

Dr. Charley.


Yay for the Farmers Market opening!




Sporting our shirts for the Ronald McDonald House.

C could join in the fun at the school carnival this year!


Purple haired besties!

A tender moment knowing Annie was days from moving to DC.

Charley FaceTiming Elmo.  This takes me back!!


Birthday party time! (Look what C is wearing!!)











Photo cred to Hogan.  Good one Lil. ;)

Love us some Ms. Holly!





"I'm two!! ... I'm one." -Charley


Mommy Charley double birthday.  What?!!

Celebrating Mommy's bday at Cantina.


Charley's REAL birthday.  Orange scooter & Frozen rain boots were a hit!




Lily decided she wanted a violin instead of a cello, so we made the switch!

It's like Little Mommy...

LOVE this pic of C at the library!


I let the girls switch car seats on the way to school and can you tell C was a little excited? :)






Movie night with Annie!!


Tangled, pizza, popcorn, and your bestie... what could be better?


This definitely captured the mood. ;)


C "fake fussing" in her baby doll's crib.  (Hogan said it's like she's pretending to be what she really is.  Haha!)

Ballet date with Lilybug!  Spring Works was so great when Mom and I went that she encouraged me to go back with Lil... so glad I did.  We made tutus, played the drums and had popcorn (on top of a great performance -- she loved it!).




Meanwhile, while Mommy and Lil were at the ballet, C and Daddy had a fun time of their own... :)
