Charlie's 1st Birthday Party!!!

We had a crazy busy weekend and an awesome birthday party for Charles T. His cousins from Rapid City came on Thurs and Friday to help him eat cake, open presents, and get dirty. Charlie's party was everything we could have imagined it to be - many friends and family attended, lots of COOL summer toys, and donations for a local women and children's shelter. He has already been enjoying his new wagon from Nama Olson and his picnic table from mom and dad. He is patiently waiting for dad to put his new jungle gym/swing set together from Papa and Nana Haggar.

Thanks again to everyone that was able to come to the party and for the wonderful gifts of generosity!!
