Dada had trimmed our fir tree and put his years working at a Christmas Tree Lot to good use, making yards of garland for our baby's birthday to decorate our little home. I made wreaths with the other bits to finish the walls, and we spread the china across our table with candles, flowers, and fruit. She woke up late, and we surrounded her with birthday cards and white balloons and sprinkled love all over her before the rest of the family arrived.
We're blessed to be surrounded well by both sides of our family and even had siblings come from states away to help us love our Charlotte Pear. We had appetizers to start and then shared the best creamy Thai carrot sweet potato soup, a fitting, fresh pear salad, and some veggies before we cut into my sister-in-law's moist raspberry almond cake. Charlotte unwrapped all the presents, shared all the giggles, and managed to cheese through a missed nap. Two years of this beautiful babe have gone in a flash, and we're nothing but grateful for this chance to learn deeper love.
