And April 17, 2009

The Birthday Boy!!





We took advantage of the beautiful weather and drove to Peace Valley Park.
Daddy and Charlie

What a cutie!




The park is really beautiful!

Charlie loved the ducks!

Snack break before we hit the road!

Back at home opening some presents

Snapper wanted to help



Yippeeee! Blocks!

I'm not sure who was more excited, Daddy or Charlie...



Checking out our flowers outside...

Aunt Krissy came over to give Charlie his presents and spend some time with the birthday boy!


So sweet

Trying out the new blocks!


Aunt Krissy teaching Charlie how to show everyone he's one...

Like this...

Mama and her baby boy...

Our little family...

Reading On the Day You Were Born on the day he was born! This is one of my favorite books! I read it to Charlie BEFORE he was born and I still get a little misty-eyed at the end!



Goodnight, Birthday Boy!!

Saturday morning was very busy! My parents got here Friday night and we were all getting ready for Charlie's party!
I made Charlie a banana monkey cake! I thought it turned out pretty cute!



Finally! Charlie gets to eat his monkey cake...



Covered in chocolate and ready for his post-cake bath

Presents, balloons and a new wagon!




I can't believe how perfect the weather was! We had such a great weekend!
HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY, CHARLIE!! We love you!
