2nd Birthday

Yesterday was Charli's big day. Although she turned 2, this was more like a first birthday as she wasn't home last year for her first birthday. The weather was wonderful. I didn't go to work as Aunt Jo is in town and it's Charli's birthday. I had Emma and Jake come over to swim and play with her. I thought it would be fun for the cousins to be together for the day. It really was fun. They swam and played so well together. Emma and Jake are SOOOOO good with Charli especially in the water. It was so great to see. And then Jama, Aunt Jo and Papa got in the water too. Later Eric came over for pizza, cake and ice cream. His family couldn't stay any longer as both Emma and Jake had ball practice. Charli was so cute when she realized the presents were for her. She was just giddy, jumping up and down. It was a lot of fun. After presents, my cousin Justin and his wife Sarah stopped in to visit. I then took Aunt Jo, Sarah and Jama down to the open house at Charli's school. She literally crashed on the way home. She had such a big day.
