Happy 5th Birthday Charlotte!

Charlotte was so excited this morning that it was her birthday, that she nearly bounced all the way to school, stopping only to tell people that it was her birthday.  Yesterday we decorated unicorn and train cookies to bring to her class.  After school she had gymnastics (a make-up class because the holiday weekend threw me off schedule) where she received a special birthday stamp at the end of class.

We picked up Colin from work and headed over to the mini golf course.  The kids played at breakneck speed, each just hitting the ball until it went it.  They both did actually pretty well, sometimes only needing two strokes, sometimes a dozen. They thought that the ball going in the water hazards was hysterical.

After dinner at the Weathervane (Charlotte's choice, although all she ate was bread and chocolate milk), we came home and Skyped with Grandpa as Charlotte opened presents and blew out her candles.
