Happy Birthday Caroline!

I'm a little late in getting an update on Caroline's birthday.  What a fun weekend we had.  It was so nice to be able to spend time with friends and family that came to visit.  We know it makes for a lot of driving, but we really do appreciate the effort for the kids!  Here are some fun photos of her birthday weekend.  On Saturday, we had her a party here at the house.  Her actual birthday was Sunday the 20th, so we let her open the presents from us that day.  Jack's gift to Caroline was taking her to Build a Bear to make her own monkey.  As you will be able to see, she had some mixed feelings about the process.  She was so excited to leave with her monkey though!

Check out her cute shirt.  My friend Melissa (a college roommate and sorority sister) made it for her!

Fun with Grammy

Daddy, Nana, Popa and Aunt Beverlee

Getting a good smile out of Grandpa

So happy our neighbor Ashley could stop by.

Caroline swiped a corner of the cake before we were ready to sing.  Here she is with the evidence all over her hands.  She does not like dirty hands!

Still holding still b/c of the icing.  See the closest left corner?

Digging in with both hands.

Taking a break to pose with Mommy.

Ready to stuff her monkey.

Not so sure about the stuffing process....

Glad to have her monkey back in her arms.  We won't even mention the fluffing process!

Opening her gifts from us.  Really liking the opening!

A potty baby!  Maybe this will help in the potty training process starting in June.

"open Daddy!"
