Our original intention was to have a final cupcake/present celebration for Charlie on Tuesday night, but she was so worn out from a day of no real nap (aka she fell asleep in the car and Mommy decided to go shopping instead) that we ended up putting her straight to bed after dinner.

We tried again last night with MUCH greater success. Aunt Janet gave Charlie her very own doll (named Chloe) who has her very own chair, just like Charlie! Thanks Auntie Janet, we love you!!

I should also mention that I went fall decoration hunting yesterday…yes, I know, it’s not officially fall, as my husband likes to remind me…but you all know it’s my VERY favorite time of year and I just can’t contain myself! So, considering it’s a three day weekend, I hope to take down the rest of Charlie’s party decorations (so sad!) and replace them with many fun festive things, including candles that smell like pumpkins!!! Yay!! (That’s a shout-out to Auntie Em…)
