The Actual Birthday!

Sunday morning Charity woke up and put her leotard on first thing. Then she came up and saw the decorations Daddy had put up (very exciting), and then Kelly jumped up and went and got Charity's present. We let her open her other ones at her party the day before, so Kelly was really excited to give Charity the present she had picked out. Which, I must say, was a VERY interesting shopping trip. We're walking through the toy aisles at Target, and Kelly is being AWFULLY picky for someone who is buying a present for someone else :) She new EXACTLY what Charity would like. She hardly even looked at some things because she knew Charity "wouldn't like that". She knows her big sister SO WELL. Almost better than I do I'm afraid. It was neat though. To see Kelly getting so excited and having so much fun finding a toy for someone else. What a cool little sister she is.

Kelly picked out the Barbie with all the dogs. And how could you go wrong with a Barbie and dogs for Charity. Charity loved it of course, but tried not to get too excited- she IS the cool big sister afterall :).

Here's Kelly showing her all the cool features she had noticed while carrying it through the store.



Here's Charity playing with it- it's actually kinda cute. There is a little bottle that you fill up with water and "feed" to the little puppy, and then set the puppy on a "newspaper" (it actually comes with these taht you cut out), and the puppy pees on the paper-- CRAZY!!! The kids all got a kick out of that for a few minutes :) I'm sure the bottle is lost by now, but how creative! Charity loves dogs. She already had one that came with a Barbie that poops, so now she is complete :) Just kidding. It nuzzles too...and plays ball....and why am I talking about the dumb toy- I don't know :)



Sunday evening was the Maynes Family meeting, so Charity got to see all of her cousins, everyone sang Happy Birthday to her, and we had cupcakes and icecream. It was really fun! She loves her cousins.


I just think my little girl is so stinkin' cute!


This is Charity with her uncle. They were bonding since they both have March birthdays :) Way cute.

And she did blow out candles on her birthday (my favorite tradition). This is a cute picture with her lips all out and her cute cousin watching her. How fun- what a good birthday!
Happy Birthday Charity- you're "finally" SIX!!!!
