A Gymnastics Birthday Party for Charlotte

Last weekend all of Charlotte's favorite people came to celebrate her turning five, by doing her favorite thing...gymnastics! Our sweet neighbor let us borrow all of their gymnastics equipment and Charlotte could not have been more excited!   I think all of her friends had a good time, it was a great party and I know everyone slept well that night!

Charlotte Gray is Five!

We are one week late getting these pictures up of our sweet five year old, but the cuteness makes up for the lateness!  We had a special date with just Daddy, Mommy and Charlotte and went to Krohn Conservatory to get a few shots.  She hammed it up the whole time and really enjoyed her date day!IMG_8868IMG_9020IMG_9154IMG_9065IMG_8853IMG_8864IMG_9061IMG_8969

a putt putt birthday party for ollie

Our little boy turns 3 on Tuesday, so this weekend...we partied! Ever since we took Oliver putt putting on vacation last summer, he's been obsessed with "futt futt." So when we asked him what kind of party he'd like, without hesitation it was a "futt futt" party. Here is how the afternoon went down... A must picture that we do every year.

Melissa found a fun abc's book about golfing and like we always do, everyone signed the book and included a cute note for Ollie.

Melissa spent hours making four different putt putt holes for the kids to enjoy. As you'll see, each one was sponsored by one of Ollie's favorite toys...and this one in particular included a windmill of course.

This one was sponsored by trains and included a ramp with 4 different holes to hit into.

This was my favorite below. You put your ball at the top and it rolled down the different ramps to get things started.

Last, but not least...BIG TRUCKS!

Each kid got to take home a golf ball sipper cup as a souvenir.

Here is the cake that we came up with, complete with a "3" pin marker.

A bit of the golf themed food spread.

A big thanks to Miss "Wowa" and Miss "Manna" for helping us get the party all set up that day. As you can see, Ollie loves those girls.

Everyone listening intently as I read the abc's book.

Decorating visors for the ultimate putt putt experience.

Here is Ollie starting his ball at the top of the ramp.

We are so blessed for all of the family and friends in our lives!

Presents time!!!

Look at that face...

Perfect execution on operation blow out candle.

Don't mind if I do help myself to a little extra icing.
