This past Saturday, we all traveled to Meadow Vista (just past Auburn) to help Charley Ellen celebrate her second birthday with friends & family. It boggles my mind that this beautiful little girl is two years old already. I mean, really, when did this happen?

She is such a cutie with her big, blue eyes & wild, blonde curls. |

The entire family turned out for the birthday bash! We had four generations on my side of the family & three on Allison's side. All six of her grandparents & step grandparents were present & a great aunt, too.

Allison invited several of Charley's little friends for a total of ten kids & twenty adults. Allison & Darrin did a fantastic job of planning all the festivities. Thank you! The kids were great with no meltdowns, skirmishes or temper tantrums! A wonderful time was had by all ages.
