Carmen Turns 3!

It doesn't seem possible that Miss Carmen Jo Shirley is 3! 

I swear it was just yesterday that Katie was sitting on our porch in the August heat talking about how she was desperately hoping to go into labor soon. These sweet girls keep on growing up and we keep on celebrating. I wonder if they would stop getting older on us and growing into big girls if we stopped having parties? Hey, it's a thought!

Carmen had a cookout at Boiling Springs with a bunch of her little friends and their parents. The kiddos played on the playground while the adults talked (and tried to stay cool in the shade). This little lady snuggled with quite a few faces that evening....

Carmen was so cute opening her presents....such enthusiasm and excitement with each gift. She partied hard!!!
