Charlie’s second birthday
Hard to believe it, but Charlie is now 2. His party was lots of fun.

These cousins had lots of fun playing together.

There were lots of presents. Charlie loves trains, and Thomas was an especially big hit.

Pawnee (their giant Great Dane/German Shepherd mix) and I shared a touching moment.

The cake was a delicious Elmo cake.

Charlie loved the cake, though he (like his mother) is not very fond of the icing.

Happy birthday, Charlie!
