Basketball and Birthday Party!

We started our day with Charlie's first basketball game at the YMCA! He has been looking forward to this day for sooo long! He did really well. Make a few baskets, and a couple steals! He was pretty worn out when he got home. I guess he didn't realize how much running went along with playing basketball!

Since Charlie's birthday is pretty close to Christmas and weekends get busy, we decided to wait till after the Holidays to have his friend birthday party! Today was the day! He has had a countdown to this day since his birthday! We had 12 7-8 year old boys, plus William at our house for 3 hrs. Conversations with boys are much different than with girls as is play time! Charlie wanted to be able to go sledding with his friends so decided to have a Sledding theme party! Thank goodness Ross was home to help with these energetic boys!

A little close up of the cake. I was told about this baker in Menomonie from my neighbor Heather. She makes amazing cakes. The sledders are made out of cookies! The detail is just amazing!~
