Charlie is 3!

Charlie turned 3 on February 1st and we had a great party! Pizza, Thomas the Train cake and ice cream! Charlie had a great time and the party was well documented by my cousin Linsey. There are too many pics to post in a blog (119 in all) but if you want, you can check them out at:

There are also pics from Molly's b-day party (she turned 1 on the 16th). Another great party and boy did she enjoy her cake!

Stars On Ice!

To kick off Charlie's b-day week-end, we took him ice skating at a rink downtown. We talked it up all week to prepare him and he was excited! Once we got there, I was a little nervous to find that they did not in fact rent double blade skates but only single blade. Oh well, too late to turn back now. In typical Charlie fashion, the determination came out and he was GREAT at it! Only fell a couple times and no crying the whole time. He actually didn't want to leave! A fun time was had by all!

The best part...the Zamboni!

The other best part...hot chocolate!
