Happy Number 5

 We had an amazing WEEK celebrating Charlie's 5th birthday!  We started with an overnight trip to a water park the boys love in Wisconsin, and Charlie brought his BFF Nolan.  Nothing better than an indoor water park for boys in the middle of the winter. 
 The we celebrated as a family at home on the 8th.  Grammy flew into town to help celebrate and helped make amazing clone trooper cupcakes for him. 
 Opening a few presents before school
 and the rest before dinner.....
 $50 in $1's, Charlie (and Alec) think Charlie is RICH
 Roller blades from Grammy
 We were shocked at how awesome he was on them right off the bat
 And if that wasn't enough celebrating, we had a small party at the house with his friends from school on Friday
 Grammy's second amazing Star Wars cake creation
 11 preschoolers on a trampoline
Matt and I were feeling guilty before Charlie's birthday b/c Alec has always had these awesome parties, and Charlie hasn't, but I think we did our due diligence and spoiled him rotten!  He loved every minute of the attention and all the amazing gifts!  Happy birthday Charlie Matthew, you are the spunk of this family and we couldn't imagine life without you!
