We kept it hidden for a while and eventually pulled it out for the boys to see. I thought we'd get a better result then we did, but they were still excited.
Everyone loves playing the games on the iPod and it was a great purchase. We have a few fights about who gets to play next, but we knew it would be that way.
I can't believe my baby's five. I wanted to start documenting how big he's getting by taking a birthday picture every year. (Please try to disregard my double chin.)
Chuck made out pretty well on gifts. He had to get the celebration bumped because I had Parent-Teacher Conferences unitl 8:00pm, so we had to move the party unitl Friday night. Truth be told he got a gifts from the grandmas on his real birthday, dinner and gifts on Friday night with us, and then cake and gifts from his cousins and uncle on Sunday. We had the weekend of Charlie.
He got a coupld of new Leapster games, some books, and a TON of Iron Man toys.
We got him to show us his Iron Man helmet.
Tom wanted to wear it too.
So did Brianna, who was hiding from the camera all evening.
1. "A Heavenly Father Book for his church. You know scriptures."
2. "A book I can take with me and read in the car." (p.s. he doesn't read yet.)
3. "That new Iron Man Leapster game." Even though we looked Online last night an no such game existed.
This is how Tom spent his time off--playing video games. I let them play the one card game that I mysteriously had on my phone and a few hours later I had 12 games downloaded on my phone. I looked at which ones they had downloaded and it was some of the games that I would like. Charlie told me that he picked it out especially for me. I don't know how he knew to fib like that.
...this is how David used to sit in my chair when he was a little boy." Said by Charles (4/9/10)
He was making such funny faces so we had to take some pictures.
This is the same lady that cut his hair before. (Read more of that here.)
Here's how he looked after. It was money well spent.
We had some errands to run in the city so we road the train into the city and went to the mall. Brian needed to get his phone replaced and I had some returns to make so we walked around the mall for a while and then got back on the train.
Charlie was so excited and loved looking out the window. We took the train all the way to the university to see where we will be watching football games in the future.
We didn't realize how far the train went. We took it from the mall all the way up to the university hospital. We loved to see all the fun people that got on and off of the train.
We even got all of them to pose for a picture on the train. The boys counted that we rode five trains that day and they loved every bit of it. After our trip up to the hill we came back down to the mall and ate lunch before we headed back home. We had such a fun day.
