Charlie's 2nd Birthday Party!

.....................................................

......Mommy & Daddy deferred my 2nd Birthday Party for a few weeks while they got used to having baby Gracie around. As a bonus - Great Grampa, Nannie & Grampa L, Grama & Grampa W were all here to help us celebrate. Plus some of my bestest friends. And one very special surprise guest. You guessed it! A horsey!!!

Hey Dad...this is awesome!

Here we go Cheyenne. Hey Dad...can we keep her?

I don't care if it's cold out Daddy...I don't want to go in the house!

Because it is my birthday - I got to wear the sheriff's badge. Meet deputy Jack!

Hey Mom....thanks for the great surprise and for planning such a fun party. It was sooo worth the wait!

Hey Grampa, where's your cowboy hat?

My buddy Sam was the next mount for Cheyenne. He is in fine form in this photo!

My friend Jane was up next sporting her pink hat and boots and freckles. She won the prize for best dressed jockey!

After Jane's ride, she treated Cheyenne to some of our fresh green grass.

Uncle Joey and Mommy are consoling me while I wait for my next turn.

Deputy Jack gives Cheyenne a workout!

Next up ... Anabelle! She doesn't look so sure about this!

Her smile proves that she's got the hang of it! You go girl!

Anabelle's Mommy looks pretty proud of her.

Here's a whole family shot. Nice hat Todd!!

Finally my turn came up again. Don't call me a City Slicker!

Just horsin' around.

Jack and his Daddy enjoying themselves.

What is this smell in the horsey trailer? And what is so squishy under my shoe?

Cheyenne and a family shot. Hey, where's baby Gracie? Doesn't she want a turn Daddy?

Giddy up....my friend Kristella and her Daddy are the last mount.

Hey Uncle Joey...let's just ride off into the sunset.

Everyone came back into the house to warm up and have some birthday cake. "Me two".

What do you mean "blow" Mommy?

Oh, that wasn't so hard.

Mmmmmm. This tastes better than my usual dinner. Today must be special eh Mommy?

Here's Todd trying to explain to Anabelle why she doesn't get to have cake! Don't worry Anabelle, just wait til you're TWO!!!
