Happy Birthday Papa Baer

Overall it was a success. Happy Birthday Papa Baer

Not your Typical Birthday Party

 We kept telling Charlie he was going to a party.  

I think I should have worked on the description of "party". He was used to rock climbing and bouncy houses.  

 We kept him busy and then he put his knees in the cake.  

oops

Happy Birthday

 Back in October we threw a fun birthday party for Papa Baer at the Muddy Rudder.

Birthday Dinner and Success!!!

 We went to Gibbit Hill Grill for dinner on my Birthday.  

Charlie was running around outside and was making some friends. 

Well, the friends' mom had a nice looking camera and I hoped she knew what she was doing so I asked her to use our camera to take a family picture.  

I'm pretty sure she was a professional photographer.  In 2 shots she got the 2 best family pictures we have.  Thanks unknown lady!!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Baer! Thanks for making everything so much more exciting!

We love you. Love Julie and Charlie xoxoxo

Happy Birthday Buddy!

Happy Birthday Charlie! 

It's been one crazy year and you have grown so much. You are such a happy boy who brings us so much joy every day. 

We love you buddy!

Yum....

We went to brunch to celebrate Danny's birthday...the big 3-0.  Charlie couldn't eat eggs and french toast with us but he thought Uncle Danny's flannel shirt tasted good.  

Dessert!

The boys were very thoughtful and brought a lovely selection of cupcakes for us to celebrate my birthday and I'm posting the picture today to say happy birthday to my mom! Happy Birthday Mom! 

Welcome Josie!!!

   Erin gave birth like a champ ( so I hear)  to a beautiful new baby girl.  Ella has a little sister Josie!!!

I was so lucky to get to see her ( and to top it off it was the last day of school! woo hoo!)  

Color of the Day

The color of the day was pink!

Baer was even in on the pinkness. 

I think our baby has a good chance at having some blue eyes....we'll see!
