Happy 3rd Birthday Charlie Jane

My angel baby girl turned into sneaky little girl during her 3rd year.

We love her just the way she is though: cunning, happy, sneaky, mean, loving, clever, and sweet!

Year 3 was the year of making messes with forbidden substances. Breaking a glo stick all over her bed and herself, poo poo vigorously rubbed into the carpet (she was trying to clean it up),  green hair mascara in hair and mouth, diaper rash cream on bed and carpet, Aquaphor in hair, and shaving cream in her hands (I caught her before she made a mess with this one).

 It looks like she's going to be a monster in her 4th year. It'll get better...one day.

Thank you Nanny Jaime for planning this adorable Candy Land birthday party for our sneaky little girl. On second thought, maybe we should have had a spy or monster party for her.

Another awesome cake from Mae Mae! She is simply the best!

Charlie got lots of awesome presents. A necklace, backpack, books, money, wooden nativity, soccer ball, etc. She's one rotten little girl that loves hoarding all her "things" in her backpack. 

Charlie is clever and possessive with just a touch of mean. She should have been Aunt Jess' kid, but for some reason God knew we needed her.  We feel blessed to be the mom and dad of this clever little girl. Can't you see the mischievous thoughts in that face?
