Thanksgiving 2014


Everyone's favorite Jewish holiday finally arrived, and the whole family came to Seattle to celebrate. Charlotte, Sarah and  Abigail played hard for three days straight and had so much fun together. Charlotte also got some QT with Jay, Kaya, Julia and family friend David. Hattie sent costumes for the play even though she couldn't join us, so our production of Golda Lox and the Three Bears in the Fairyrale Forest went off without a hitch. Baby Bear Charlotte decided to be Tinkerbell instead, so Bubba read her lines.

3rd Birthday

Charlotte's birthday festivities kicked off with a celebration at her school. The kids made her a card and went around and each said something nice to her (I love playing trains with you; I love you; I like playing outside with you) then Mama and Daddy shared a special song we wrote about Charlotte's favorite things:

Schmoo bear the lovey and Minnie the mouse
My Little Ponies that fill up the house
Stella the baby doll, Tinkerbell’s wings
These are Charlotte’s favorite things

Sushi and pizza, macaroni and cheese
Cookies and ice cream with more sprinkles please
Raspberries, blueberries, pineapple rings
These are Charlotte’s favorite things

Jumping in puddles and balance beaming
Bird feeder watching, Daniel Tiger streaming
Dancing to ballet music, swinging on swings
These are Charlotte’s favorite things

3 years old now, such a big girl
So we’re feeling glad
To wish Charlotte a happy birthday today
With love, from your mom and dad


Then we all had lunch together and enjoyed some brownies the kids had made. 

On her actual birthday, we had a fun little party at our house- 3 friends for 3 years of age, plus of course the whole family! Daddy really outdid himself on the cake this year- blue sparkle pony lemon cake as requested. Charlotte blew out the candles with gusto and then had lots of fun playing with her new toys.
