Welcome All to Karen and Charlotte's "Box/Package" shower!
Dear friends of mine were so sweet to send over packages to the other side of the world, to celebrate Charlotte's arrival... and we certainly had to make it a huge celebration-especially since my dear friend Liz (who coordinated everything) sent decorations in her package! What's a girl to do? That's right... throw a party! I hung up the banners, unwrapped the plates and napkins, made Charlie's favorite "mmmnack" (her way of saying, "snack") and encouraged Charlotte's favorite friends to come outside (Rody jumped right on the offer... the others took some bribing with animal crackers to come out!)

All were invited...




These days Charlie LOVES anything blueberry... so I plated some animal crackers, blueberries and made a blueberry smoothie for the little princess...



I think if I let her, she would have my share of smoothie, as well as Papa's if she was allowed... she just loves them.


Now she's ready (with yummy blueberry smoothie remains on her lips/face) to open up gifts! She really doesn't open them... she more so stares at them, and then gets REALLY excited when you show her what was inside the box. Oh, and don't even get me started when she saw most of it was CLOTHES!




Mama had to take a break from snapping photos.... and got in a few.
yes, shoes... she's definitely LOVING these... within 10 minutes she perfected her "walk" with these heels!



So many blessings were in all those packages, and Charlotte and I just wanted to say a special thank you to those that sent them (even though official thank yous are on their way to you already!) We so wish you could have been here to celebrate with us... but we are grateful for thinking of us!
Aw, what a happy girl and what great friends you have!
ReplyDeleteSO precious.
ReplyDeleteMom tip: put some tape on the bottom and heal of those dress up shoes. They are slippery suckers! With your floors she will be flailing all over the place!
ReplyDeleteLove from Japan ;)

ReplyDeleteLove it! Those same Princess shoes motivated (aka bribed) Isabel to finally become potty trained last month! And I did Google Rody. Isabel got his cousin Gyffy for her birthday. He rode to school with us the other day!
ReplyDeleteI love pictures where are you with Charlotte together. You look beautiful as a family. Anyway I am looking forward to see Charlotte´s style. And she must be the youngest girl walking in heels I know of. That was very sweet idea from your friends to throw you a package shower :)
