Birthday Parties!

Ross and I decided to do a combined birthday party for William and Charlie and have it at our home. So, Ross's sister and her family came up on Friday, they braved the snow storm, and made it in 6 hrs instead of 3. My sisters also came up earlier in the day friday, but they got ahead of the storm outside of MN. Then, Ross's parents, Brother and his family, and his other sister and her husband made it up on Saturday. Can't thank everyone enough for braving the snow and coming up to make the day special for William and Charlie. We celebrated Williams birthday at lunch time!



I had to post this picture, I love this pic of Ross's sister Anita and her husband Jon!

William really wanted to grab the whole cake!

All the kids at the birthday party.

William eating his cake, something was really funny here, not sure what. He will just crack up at the weirdest things some times! What a goofball!



And then we had Charlie's birthday party for supper time. It was of course, Toy Story themed...



The matching Cousins...Carmen had worn this dress today and when I pointed out to Grace that she had that dress she had to stop prayer before lunch and run in and change to match Carmen.

Charlie and his birthday cake...I have never seen this boy so proud..he just sat there and soaked it all in while we sang "Happy Birthday" to him. I love this boy!


and yes, the boy in the background does not have a shirt on. Zach got really hot running around, so he needed to cool off!

Charlie with his Buzz Lightyear he got for his birthday. This kid didn't put it down until he went to bed at night. Then asked for it first thing in the am...set it down for nap time and again asked for it again. He wasn't so keen on sharing it with his cousins either....it was pretty tough to share him...he has wanted buzz for a long time now. I think he would sleep with him if he could...but then I would probably be hearing buzz all night long.....
