Happy Birthday, Charlotte!

I can barely believe it, but two years ago at this time, we were holding our precious newborn, "ooh"ing and "aww"ing over how cute she was, and "oh.my.goodness"ing over the fact that she came three weeks early. She has brought so much joy and so many smiles to our lives. It really is hard to remember what life was like before she was here, even though it was only a two short years ago.

We had a small, family party for her this past Saturday and she had a blast!

Apparently, she was not a fan of our singing


Much more content after blowing out the candles


Ready to tear into all the presents


A little mommy



And here are just a few of my favorite pictures from her first two years...

On her birth day, in the arms of her proud Daddy


As if she wasn't gift enough, she gave us her first smiles on Christmas day


How I coped with things when she was two months old :)


The day of her Dedication


Seriously, this smile melts my heart


Just over one year old at her Aunt Shannon's wedding


Looking so cute in her Christmas dress!


Taking care of business in her Daddy's office


Happy Birthday, Charlotte Michelle!
