Charlie Turns 6





What an exciting day! I can't believe Charlie is 6 years old. It seems like just yesterday we were bringing home our little, tiny baby boy and now he is almost done with Kindergarten.

Charlie woke us all up early Sunday morning to go down and open his presents. He got a giant Nerf gun and bow and arrow that he has loved playing with. He also got a bunch of pirate figures. He got a giant pirate boat for Christmas that he will go set up adventures in his room so we thought he would like to add to the collection. He is also getting into power rangers so he got a car and a few figures to play with. He also got a scooter that he has loved zipping around on!

Charlie & Annie also got that morning a great airplane teeter toter from Nan and Pop that has been a big hit.

That afternoon we had Charlie's birthday party - An Army Adventure. 8 of his friends from school came over for an army party. Each kid got a pair of binoculars, an army hat, and a toy gun. Between the trampoline and the airplane in the back yard the boys had a blast playing army. We played a bunch of games like - Sargent Says (Simon says), Grenade Dodge (dodge ball), Bomb Blaster (pop the balloon on the kids ankles) and tank, tank, bomb (duck, duck, goose). Charlie also had a pinata full of candy and army men. Everyone had a great time and Charlie loved his party.

After Charlie's party we had pancakes for dinner - his favorite and then we had a baseball cake for dessert.
