A picture by Charles

Here is a picture that Charles drew of me and him. First one and I think it's cute.

Christmas 2011

A dancing and singing cowboy Santa from GG-Pa and GG-Ma. There's a lot more presents that he opened but I'm too lazy to put them all up here!

This is the one present he opened on Christmas Eve at Nana's and Papoo's house. By the way, Papaw is now Papoo according to Charles.

This is us keeping up our tradition of making Christmas cookies. He helped me cut the cookies out. Then, after they were baked, he helped put the sprinkles and sugar on them.

Christmas Train Ride

Santa Claus came by and passed out candy canes.

This is Smiley O'Riley the clown. He is from Oklahoma City dental offices that have a train theme for kids. He passed out a packet with a toothbrush and toothpaste.

Charles had cookies. Yummy!

Charles is looking out the window when we first started on the trip.

Charles' 3rd Birthday

Socks from Aunt Cathy and Uncle Mark! "Socks!"Lol :)

Cars!

Eating cake.

Camping in the back yard (May 2011)

Charles had a cot to sleep in with his own sleeping bag. He ended up sleeping on the floor though!

We made s'mores! Yummy! But Charles only wanted to eat the marshmallow, so Daddy ate the rest of it for him.

We had an air mattress to sleep on and Charles helped Daddy air it up.

Charles had the stakes because he was helping Daddy set up the tent.

Here's the tent all set up! We weren't sure if we were actually going to sleep in there the whole night but Charles finally passed out after we pretended to be asleep for a looong time!

Chillin' with Daddy

Thomas Day Out 2010

Playing with the trains!

We stayed at Aunt Betty's house on Friday and Saturday. Charles loves Aunt Betty :)

There's Thomas the Tank Engine! His eyes move back and forth when he pushes and pulls the train. Charles liked riding the choo-choo.

We got our picture made with Sir Topham Hatt.

Also got a picture with Thomas. Charles had a great time and cried when we left because he wanted to stay with the choo-choo.
