Last year we started a tradition of our birthday’s being like Christmas: first thing in the morning, we sing “Happy Birthday” and give the birthday girl (or boy, aka Daddy) their gifts. Today was no different. Because we don’t have the room for a real kitchen for Charlie until after we move, we bought her this little inexpensive stovetop from Target, to get her by. She immediately made Mommy some delicious pizza.

We are heading out to meet Daddy for lunch with his colleagues downtown. I had plans to have Charlie wear her birthday petti again but it may be a tad chilly. We’ll see what I can find. Once Daddy gets home tonight, we have a few more gifts (believe it or not) to open, specifically Aunt Janet’s, which we’ve been saving! This little girl is so well-loved, and we are overwhelmed with all of the kindness people have shown her on her 2nd birthday.
