Charlotte (and Noah) loved the holiday season - from fun costumes to sparkly lights, from getting gifts to baking cookies.
But the most fun was staying up late!
We went to a friend's wedding before Christmas and first thought about getting a babysitter for the hotel so that Mama & Daddy could enjoy a few hours at the dinner and reception. But then we thought better: Convincing Charlotte to fall and stay asleep in an unknown hotel room while we were away was probably a non-starter, and Noah still ate too often. So we took them along after the church ceremony... expecting a short and stressful appearance... but we ALL had a blast!
Noah enjoyed all the cuddles during cocktail hour and deeply slept through all the hustle and bustle of dinner & dance.
And Charlotte? Well Charlotte had the best time staying up way past her bedtime for the very first time: First, she helped decorate. Then she got drunk on refreshing Pittsburgh water and ate her weight at the bread buffet. And finally, she cut up a rug on the dance floor. In the end, we all fell happily asleep in our room.
Now Charlotte wants more of Mama & Daddy's friends to get married ;-)
