Weekend in review

We had a lot of fun celebrating Charlie's birthday all weekend long. We got to play at some fun new places, celebrated Charlie's birthday with his cousins and Heather and Dan, went out to eat, and had a playdate with his buddy Logan on Sunday while we watched the Super Bowl. What a great weekend!

Some pictures and the fun new places we went to:

Chocolate cake....yum! I made this cake for his birthday with our family. I'll be making an Elmo cake when we do his party later.


Yummy!!

On Friday, Charlie's birthday, we went to Choo Choo Bob's in St. Paul. They had several train tables with lots of trains. In the front of the store they had a few fast electric trains zooming around the tracks...Charlie was about ready to jump into the display and catch them. He loved this place!


On Saturday we spent the afternoon at Edinborough Park with Heather, Dan, Bethany and April. We had a blast! Charlie and Bethany stopped playing and posed for awhile saying "cheese!!!!", they were hamming it up for the camera :)


On Monday, we went to a cute toy/art store called Kiddywampus in Minneapolis. They have fun and unique toys that Charlie loved playing with. Then we went to their Open Studio and Charlie got to create some artwork and do crafts for an hour. He really enjoyed painting on paper on the walls and play with the glitter. We will definately be going back soon!!
