Charlie had her first birthday party on Saturday, September 5th. We had all the Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins over to cook out and swim and help us celebrate little Charlie's first milestone. For her big birthday mommy and daddy got her a big girl chair (seen here to the left), some clothes and a ladybug pillow to roll around with. We had a Strawberry Shortcake theme with a strawberry shortcake cup cake cake, some balloons and our very own strawberry outfit! Everytime she sees her shiny strawberry shortcake balloon now she points and says "cake!
"Here she is taking her first bite of her strawberry shortcake cupcake. She wasn't too happy about the frosting getting on her hands, and needless to say we had green poopie diapers the next couple of days, but I think the sugar made her VERY happy, and energetic - she never stopped going until after her bedtime that night!!
Here she and her cousin Kylie are playing with her toys. What a joy to be able to spend time with our cousins that day!I somehow wish that this would be a moment she would remember forever, but as all kids - I don't remember much when I was that age! Hopefully I documented it well enough, and I know this will be a day I will always remember. Mommy can "refresh" her memory when she is older!!

I had so much fun with strawberry shortcake when I was a girl, so glad it's 'in' again! Where did you get that great chair??
Nana & Poppy were so proud of how Charlie opened her presents like such a big girl. She acted like she liked all her presents, even the clothes. She was way too cute!
So Cute! I can't believe she is 1. Looking forward to seeing you and Charlie Wed.
