We celebrated Charlie's actual birthday as a family. We believe that birthdays need to start off feeling like a birthday. Tony and I decorated the house the night before with streamers and balloons. We filled Charlie's bedroom with balloons on his 4th birthday and he has talked about it ever since. We had to do it again this year.
We had a special breakfast and Charlie got his new bike. He was a little hesitant about it at first. He liked it once we took it outside for a ride :)

Even Peter got in on the balloon fight! We loved sticking the balloons to his head :)
Out on his new bike! Doesn't he look so big?
I took the boys to Charlie's favorite park for a picnic that day. Charlie loves to go to the park.
Charlie at 5
He is learning lots of sight words in preschool. He reads his books to me everyday after school and I love it.
Loves to look at library books
His favorite shows are Wild Kratts, Arthur & Curious George
He loves to eat meat & cheese sandwiches for lunch
His favorite games to play are ones where he's pretending to be a police officer, dog or some other animal. Always an animal without "no name, no collar and no owner."
plays great with Joey
needs lots of one of one time.
likes to help cook dinner and lunch
We even got to watch some construction going on at the park! Happy birthday Charlie!
These boys are such fearless climbers!
That night we had a special family dinner. My parents and Trent were even able to come! Charlie got to pick so of course dinner was...pancakes!
I love seeing Charlie grow up. He's a wonderful kid, a great friend, brother and son.
Happy Birthday, Charlie!

Happy Birthday Charlie! He's getting so big. By the way, that is one crazy jungle gym!
Wow, I can't believe Charlie is 5!?!?! It's amazing how all of a sudden he's just a little boy--no hint of baby/toddler at all! You're such a fun mom--his party looked so great! And that jungle gym is stressing me out... :)
