Playgroup and Paper Cranes (and my Valentines Birthday)

I woke up to hundreds of paper cranes with memories and love notes in them on my ceiling. Brad has been writing me these love notes since we were first dating. He wrote 27 new ones for my birthday and folded all the old ones. They are hanging all over the apartment right now and it is so beautiful. In between the cranes there are heart shaped beads to contrast to the white. I was locked in my room until the breakfast was finished then Charlotte and Brad brought me some camembert and cranberries with crackers for breakfast. It was SOO delicious. They also brought some presents, cards and some pretty little orange roses. They are so good to me!

Charlotte had a little playgroup yesterday afternoon too. Those kids are so cute!

Bones Party: Valentine's Edition

I put my party planning powers to use and made some delicious Valentine's treats and heart shaped alfredo pizzas. Charlotte's favorites were the sugar cookies, especially the frosting. She's a girl after my own heart. This week's episode of Bones was pretty exciting, so it was good that we had some delicious food to comfort us. 

Birthday Party!

Today was the big birthday party for Charlotte. It was a big success and she loved it. She got some great presents and she had some very happy and excited reactions to all of them. We want to make sure that her birthday is always special even though it's so close to Christmas.

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Brad!

Today Brad is a quarter of a century old! We celebrated with pizza, presents, cake and lot's Christmas decorating. Brad reminded us that his birthday was conveniently on Black Friday so that we could go out early and get him lots of presents.
 
 I went all out for the birthday cake with some great pinterest ideas (here and here). The cake takes forever, but tastes amazing and trees were a great Northwest touch:) We will all be in chocolate comas tonight.

6 Months

Happy 6 month birthday, Charlotte girl! YAY! One half of a year down:)
