Charlotte turned five last weekend. It's very hard to believe that we have 5 and 6 year olds! And Audrey will turn 7 in two months.
Charlotte was very excited for about two weeks before her birthday. She would go to our big wall calendar at least once a day and count the days remaining. She told us many times exactly what kind of party she wanted, what kind of cake, what she wanted for breakfast and of course what presents she wanted. Of course both she and Audrey "want" everything they see in newspaper ads, on TV commercials and in the stores.
Birthday breakfast was specified with great precision. Mickey mouse pancakes with a chocolate mouth, a chocolate nose and chocolate eyes. Audrey added whipped cream to her specification. After pancakes we opened family presents like a little Christmas morning. Later in the day we all went to the theater to see Tangled, the new Disney animated feature based on Rapunzel.
Charlotte's birthday party was the day after her birthday. She invited all girls including classmates from last year and this year plus neighbor Anna and even sister Audrey (Charlotte put Audrey on the list). Carol made cupcakes to Charlotte's specifications (originally it was supposed to be a princess cake but Charlotte changed her mind). After a snack they got to eat cupcakes, and then after gifts they went back to the table and decorated Chinese takeout boxes and then a cupcake each to take home in their box. Everyone had a great time.
Charlotte is enjoying being 5.
