More Birthday Fun

Today, we went to Mama D and Papa Rock's house for dinner, and Mama D made us special cupcakes in an ice cream cone.  They were SUPER yummy!  Again,  I was a little uncertain about the candles, but I loved everyone singing to me!  I got some more awesome presents, and even Javed got to open some presents too!  What a fun evening!

Sweet Charley

From Mommy:  Today, sweet baby girl, you turn 2 years old.  It seems like yesterday that I was walking into the hospital, ready to meet you.  I remember when they put you in my arms, I was overwhelmed with how much I already loved you.  You were perfect.  As you have grown, you have have become quite the firecracker.  You are a bundle of energy- always on the move and ready to be in the middle of everything.  You are a lover of life, and you bring so much joy to those around you.  You know what you want, and I can't wait to see what God has planned for your life.  You love to talk, and you continually amaze Daddy and I with how much you understand.  You love your brother so much, and you love to push his buttons too! :)  You are definitely a smart little girl. You are a ray of sunshine, and we LOVE you.  Happy birthday to our little Polka!

Happy Birthday, Charley!

What better way to celebrate "C" week than to honor our sweet birthday girl, Charley!  We started last night by making strawberry cupcakes!

Helping Mommy Make Cupcakes

Our Colorful Cupcakes

This morning, when Mommy, Daddy, and Javed woke me up, I had a quite a surprise.  

Then, Mommy, Daddy, and Javed sang Happy Birthday to me, and I was not so sure about those candles! :)  I was DEFINITELY happy about the pancakes--I think I ate 5 or 6 of them! :)

After breakfast, I got to open a couple of presents, and then we headed off to the Circus!

Ready to Go

Once we got to the circus, we had so much fun climbing up and down.  Once the show began, we REALLY enjoyed watching the clowns, the trapeze artists, the animals, and our favorite: the motorcycle stunt riders.  What an awesome time!
