Thank you to everyone who gave Chaeli such beautiful dresses for her Birthday! We had so much fun trying them all on her and seeing how pretty she looked!

Grandma Maureen knitted her a sweet little white sweater that she will be able to wear next year about this time and Jan bought her a couple dresses for next year as well. We tried to dress her up in everything that did fit her right now so you could enjoy the fashion show!

Chaeli’s birthday party brought with it a gorgeous surprise snow storm. There’s nothing like big, white flakes falling all over to give you a nestled in, cozy feeling. We enjoyed a small, intimate party with just the right number of people and plenty of pizza and ice-cream cake. It was so much fun! I wish all of you could have been here to celebrate with us.

It seems every day with Chaeli we see more and more of her personality and who she really is. Have we mentioned that she melts our hearts??? On another separate note, Chaeli now has an insatiable appetite for food! Yep, she pretty much wants to eat food all day long, and oh yeah…watch out for your fingers! They may get in the way of her now 7 teeth!
