C is for Charlie who’s just turned 1 you see!
My baby is growing up. Saturday the families got together for many reasons (Chase’s baptism, Sarah’s endowment) all of them very important. The nearest and dearest to me was Charlie’s birthday. It’s hard to believe that I’ve had him for a year already. The ordeal it took to get him here seems more like a dream than a memory. On the other hand, I have been very mindful of all those who have loved and cared for my little man. Saturday was just as much Ben and my way of showing our appreciation as it was a monster party for Charlie.

A cookie monster party that is and boy! were there cookies. I gave away most of them, but if any of you didn’t get enough I’m offering refills.

Charlie’s cake turned out just the way I had envisioned it. And the cup cakes, although rushed, weren’t half bad either.

Thanks Jennifer for your help with those while Chase Brown did some awesome window art.

Charlie got some great toys and books to make playtime fun again.

I’ll admit I was very pleased with his reaction to the wagon Ben and I got him. We drove all over trying to find the right one. Little does Charlie know I have big plans for that wagon in the fall when the apples are ready for juicing. Sorry Charlie.
