Birthdays!

 Charlotte is 4 years old!  (But don't tell her that, or she'll get mad and insist she's still 3.)

 I made this "chocolate delight" dish for Arabelle on her birthday in January and Charlotte immediately became obsessed with it.  She asked about it pretty much every day until her birthday on February 17th and has been telling everyone she meets about it.

 It seemed to live up to her expectations!

And little Rowan turned 1!!!  At first I thought he was going to tear into his angel food cake/whipped cream,

 but he was surprisingly neat with it...

He ate the whole thing, delicately licking the whipped cream off his pointer finger, and then munching on the cake.

I wasn't going to buy him anything for his birthday, but mom shamed me into getting him a couple baubles.

Memaw and Papa got him his first cell phone:

 which he loves.
