Charlie's Big #3!

Charlie's birthday party was at a place called Bounce Town. It's basically a warehouse space filled with giant inflatable bouncy house castles. We've had a few play dates there and Charlie was very excited when I told him he could have his birthday party there.




All the kids had a BLAST!































My friend, Courtney, is due with her second baby any day. She decided to bounce a little and try to speed the process along. No word yet if it worked. ☺



























































































I forgot to take a picture of the cupcakes, but they were strawberry with chocolate icing and they had sprinkles. I just had some little finger foods for snack. Charlie got some great presents from his friends. And everyone was tuckered out when we got home!












This was sort of a bittersweet birthday for me. I feel like we've all reached such a huge milestone in our family and my boys are not babies anymore. Henry is the age Charlie was when Henry was born. I can't believe it's been 18 months since Henry was born and that Charlie is now 3! They are both so amazing and have such beautiful little souls. I'm the luckiest mom in the world and so thankful that i have the opportunity to bear witness to the miracle of their existence everyday. We are so so blessed!

Charlie's Birthday 1/5/10




Nee-Nee sent a root viewing vegetable garden for Charlie's birthday. The dirt had to soak in a bucket of water and be stirred. Surprisingly the mess was limited to the counter top! I forgot to take a picture of it all put together, but I'll get some when it starts to grow.



On Charlie's birthday we went to dinner (Chick-Fil-A at Charlie's request!) and when we came home his birthday presents were set up for him. He loved all his toys and books and felt very loved. Thank you to everyone!


Henry was eager to sit on the bike too! Charlie was such a good big brother and made sure he was wearing his helmet!

YUMMY! I made Apple-Raisin Oat cupcakes with a little butter cream frosting on top for Charlie's class. We had the leftovers after dinner. The boys devoured them!















Daddy took Charlie out on the sidewalk to try out his new bike.

































Daisy- ready for snow!

This blog loads pictures in a strange way- and I always seem to input the data wrong and they load backwards. So to see the pictures in chronological order scroll all the way to the November pictures and the bottom and look at the pictures while scrolling up.

Happy New Year!































Daisy and I walk every morning and every evening. She's very sporty and loves the snow.


Daisy has definitely made herself comfy!

Christmas Morning!




Christmas was so fun. We felt very blessed and so loved!
