CHARLES' FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!


The party was a barrel of monkeys for Charles...monkey invitations, monkey cake, monkey outfit. It suited our little monkey well.


(this is before Charles wore his monkey shirt, being totally stoked about his helium balloon)


(this is Charles with his monkey shirt - and with cousin Ashlynn)


toys, toys, toys. And mommy's and daddy's nightmare - Charles got one of those tickle-me Elmo demon-possessed toys.







this was supposed to be his new pool, but as you can see, mommy and daddy misjudged the size. does anyone have a newborn that wants a pool out there?



and here we go...what everyone waits to see.


it starts a bit slow...


but let's watch what unfolds. keep your eye on the state of the cake...poor cake.












(and here we go)....































(at this point, Charles discovers you can actually eat this stuff...)



















Happy Birthday, Little Man!!!!
