Four Year Old photos

Over Labor Day Weekend, the weather was decent and I decided it was time to head out and get Charli's four year old photos. I took her to some abandoned train tracks (the Minnesota Zephyr was a dining/theatre train that ran from Stillwater, MN on these tracks but it closed a couple of years ago). The setting was fabulous. Charli was in a good mood and we both had fun. Here are a sampling of the photos I took. Yes, I'm cheap and I took the pictures myself. But to be honest, I think I got some great shots and in some Charli's personality really shows through.

I can't believe she's been home for three years now and she's already 4!!! Wow how the time flies. This time next year she'll be off to kindergarten. And in her world that means, "You're big"!!! in mine it means my baby is growing up. So for now I'll enjoy my four year old, attitude and all. :-)

Here's a quick pix

Here's Charli's new big girl bed. Jama and Papa bought the bed and I bought her the headboard. It took my dad and I an entire day to assemble but Charli absolutely loves it....

Charli's "real" birthday

So I decided I better put up pictures from Charli's actually birthday before I post the 4 year old photos I took.

Here she is at my parents house opening her gifts. Clothes from Aunt Jo.

Books from Lois A great book and a "big girl" bed from Jama and Papa.

And a Fresh Beat Band shirt from momma

And then being her goofy self

Cupcakes for dessert

Happy birthday, Charli. Hard to believe you're already 4 and next year you will be off to kindergarten. The time has gone so fast. You are the light of my life and I love you dearly!!!
