Charlotte's 4th Birthday

This past weekend, Pearce and I went to Dallas to help celebrate Charlotte's 4th birthday.  We first made a stop to see "Me-Maw".  I just love that Pearce calls Grandma "Me-Maw"!  Pearce is always so sweet to Grandma.  After a nice visit with Grandma, we went to eat lunch at a cute market.  Pearce got a chicky leg, mashed potatoes, and mac and cheese.  He ate quite a bit then Mama found him a cute little shopping basket and he had fun pushing it around while Mom and I finished eating.  Then we went back to Mama and Papa's house and boy did Pearce have fun there!  It started raining, so naturally, Mama took Pearce outside to play in the rain!  Before long, Pearce was soaking wet from stomping in mud puddles...Heaven for a little boy!

 

  

Friday, I brought Charlotte and Pearce back over to Mama and Papa's house to play while Ash got everything ready for the party.  They had the best time "cleaning" on the porch.  Mom gave them each a Windex bottle with water and they were both just squirting away...it was so funny to watch!  Then we got to go watch Nathan at baseball practice.  Pearce loved watching him and Nathan was very proud to show Pearce off and even try to teach Pearce how to catch the baseball :)  That night Nathan, Charlotte, and Pearce got to watch Frozen while Ashley and I finished getting everything ready for the party. 

 

 Saturday was the big party day!  Charlotte had a princess dress-up party.  All of her little friends came dressed in their favorite dress-up outfits, plus Ash had all of Charlotte's dress-up clothes laid out for the girls to change into if they wanted.  There were purses, necklaces, hats, gloves, sparkly dresses, and a full length mirror for the little girls to admire themselves in!  It was adorable!  Some of the girls even tried to get Pearce all dolled up, but he wouldn't participate too much :)  Ash gave all of the girls little tea cup straw cups and they made a cute little tea cup magnet.  We had lots of good food, but Pearce was DYING for a cupcake.  I tried to hold him off until it was time for everyone to eat one, but I caved when I saw him lift the lid off the container, which was on the counter, and get a lick of icing!  So, as soon as I gave him a cupcake, he was one happy little guy.  They all played and played and then after the little girls left, Wayne cooked us some great burgers.  Pearce and I went back to Mama and Papa's house to spend the night.  Mama asked Pearce if he wanted to play in the hose....ummmm....YES!  He kept wanting me to make him a puddle to splash in.  Pearce loves the water!  Charlotte, thank you for inviting us to your adorable birthday party, we had the best time!!!!
