Charlotte Turns Seven

Charlotte Turns Seven

The age old parental lament: how time flies. Our youngest just turned 7.

This year Charlotte requested that she receive breakfast in bed just like Mom gets on her birthday. So I brought her oatmeal, jelly toast and milk on a tray.

As usual, we had two celebrations: a family celebration on Charlotte's actual birthday and a party with friends on the weekend. It was a pajama party this year. Charlotte also happened to be in her pajamas during the family celebration.

Instead of a gift bag for each party guest, Carol sewed a cozy flannel pillowcase for each guest and one of the activities at the party was for each girl to use fabric markers to decorate her pillowcase. That was a hit (as are all of Carol's creative ideas!).

Happy Birthday, Charlotte!
