DOUBLE DIGITS!

By -

 After two pre-birthday celebrations, it was finally Charlie's actual birthday! He was happy to finally be DOUBLE DIGITS!

The elves did some decorating and they brought lots of Peace Tea, Charlie's favorite!
A danish with a candle to get the celebration started.

Make a wish! 

Ready for his free dress day at school and excited to be the BIG TEN!

After school Lovie and Pops came by to wish him happy birthday and open gifts with him. 





Maw Maw gave him a necklace with a baseball theme. 



He asked for steak for his birthday dinner and he sure did enjoy his meal at Stony River. 

Chocolate ganache cake for this guy.

Love our guy so much! I cant believe how fast ten years have passed. 

Love these two so much!

This guy sure is loved by many!

Looking back on past birthdays is always bittersweet. I am so grateful for each one of them and wish that we could slow down time to enjoy each part a little longer. So thankful for this guy and all the smiles and laughter he brings to us. 
I look forward to seeing what adventures he finds and the way he touches my life in the year ahead.

This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Cloth vs. Disposable

We have mostly been planning to do disposable diapers because I felt that cloth would just be too much work when I go back to work.  Then, we saw these diapers called happy heiny's ( www.happyheinys.com ).  These looked much different than what I envisioned cloth diapers to look like.  Mom used cloth diapers with me and Jeanne', so she felt totally up for using them while Sarah Graves is at her house.  I started looking into the cost comparison and depending on what type of cloth diapers you buy, you can save anywhere from $1200 - $1700.  That is pretty attractive, not to mention knowing that you aren't filling up a landfill somewhere.  There are lots of different varieties of cloth diapers out there, but the ones that seem to be a good investment and user friendly are diapers that have snap closures, with a pocket for an insert to absorb the contents, and they are one size that adjusts as your baby grows from a newborn up to 35 pounds.  You can also purchase the traditio
