Happy Birthday Charlie

 Happy happy 4th birthday to our sweet Charlie Matthew!  Charlie has more personality and spunk than the rest of us combined, and we all adore him and all his crazy ways!  In very true Charlie form, he fell off the monkey bars in the basement the week before his birthday and broke his wrist, so our planned ski trip/waterpark vacay for his birthday had to be canceled, but we had a great time celebrating our little bruiser nonetheless.  He chose to go back to Medieval Times (which is especially funny b/c the only other time we have been was on his 2nd birthday and we drove directly there from the ER after Charlie had gotten stitches above his eye:)  Anyway, all the boys loved the show and have been running around battling each other with swords since.  We spent the day of his birthday playing at the house with his new loot (tanks and superheros were a big theme this year) and then had over a couple of his friends for cake and ice cream.  Charlie had a great day, was spoiled by his family, and is now happy to tell you that he is 8 years old..... 

 He was very happy with the construction cone orange color

 The boys NEVER wear jeans, but decided to dress up in them for Medieval Times:)

 

What happens after you take 3 boys to Medieval Times

 Alec used his own money to buy Charlie a present this year....a talking hulk.  Charlie nicknamed himself Mini Hulk a few months ago, so very fitting

 Notice Josh with the tanks, he has been walking around with no less than 5 of them cradled to his chest since Sunday....

 

 Taking some birthday phone calls

Hulk gloves and a mask from Aunt Kat and Uncle Mike are also really fun (unless you're Josh, who hates them and runs around saying "I no like it,") whenever anyone has on the mask

 

 

We love you so so so much Squatty!
