Here are just a few shots of some of the dear friends of Charlie that came to celebrate her. Vann and I were just commenting this morning on how rare and amazing it is that Charlie has so many kiddos that are around her age!! We are blessed with the greatest community and I can only hope and pray that we will find something akin to this after we move.

The size of our apartment limited us a bit. Last year we had her 1st birthday party outside, and were able to invite quite a few more people. This year, we tried to stick with the kids that Charlie plays with most often. I imagine that’s what you do as your child gets older and it’s less about you and more about them and who they spend the most time with.

We’ll just call these the “Before” pictures…you’ll see why in a little bit…
