Another marathon catch up post

I'm going to pretend that this is the week before Christmas and try to catch everything up until Christmas and then do a Christmas post. :) Thank goodness I have a job where I can "work" from home and catch up on some blogging!


Charlie went on his first plane ride in November when we flew to Kansas City to visit our friends Erin and Dusty Rasmus. Charlie became fast friends with Declan when they flew to MSP in May but who knew Charlie would love on Miss Addi so much!


Thanks to Sara Krieg for recommending the etch a sketch for the plane ride!











Monkey see...monkey do.







Charlie was mesmerized when I put up the Christmas decorations this year. He especially loved all the big plastic bins. The lights were just an added bonus.






Charlie playing cards with my Mom. I also took Charlie to Disney on Ice. My Mom and I have been going to Disney on Ice (yes without kids) for about 15 years. I wasn't going to take Charlie but at the last minute we thought we'd give it a shot. For the first half, Charlie just sat on my lap taking it all in and the 2nd half he stood in the aisle and danced and waved at all the characters. He did so much better than I ever expected and I can't wait to take him again next year. Of course my Mom was thrilled that he shares her love of ice skating!





We had one "big" snow this year and it all melted by Christmas but Charlie LOVED being outside with Brian and helping him shovel. Last year he would just stand at the front window and watch but he thinks it's very fun to be shoveling like a big boy this year!




We also had a get together with our buddies in November and trying to get a photo of these 4 made us laugh until we cried. There was about a series of 20 and just picking out the few to put on the blog made me laugh all over again.


Eloise, Colin, Charlie, and Gwen




This one cracks me up. I can't remember why they started pulling their shirts up but of course Charlie loves to "beep" the belly button. (That sounds worse than what I mean it to.)





Then Charlie gets in the fun. Notice Colin takes the high road and keeps his belly covered!




Will post Christmas pics soon (and pics of Charlie in his glasses!)
