Charlotte's 3rd birthday

Charlotte had her 3rd birthday party.  It was great to see all the family come out to the park for the day.  We rented shelter 22 at Patapsco state park and the rain held off until we had the car packed up and ready to leave.  The kids all had fun running up and down the trail, playing in the creek, blowing bubbles, and going to the playground.  Sharon (gram) made a beautiful pink cake with mini cupcakes.  It was super yummy and I even broke my diet to have a little taste.  We had a cupcake shaped pinota that all the kids enjoyed beating up with Asher's baseball bat except Charlotte.  I think she was scared or didn't like the attention so she sat with gram and grandma and watched the older kids go chasing after all the candy.  Ellie helped Charlotte open her presents and they had a lot of fun looking at everything she got.  Mommy and daddy gave Charlotte a really cute Barbie bike that she has been wanting for a year and was finally tall enough to get it for her.  She also received several baby dolls, a cupcake game, Cinderella dress with wand, hello kitty stickers, stuffed animal, and some other gifts.  We all had a great time and were exhausted when we got home.  Charlotte was still so excited after I put her to bed Chris and I heard her singing "hey guys, it's my birthday, it's my birthday".
