Winter Garden Aglow

Botanical Gardens

The Botanical Gardens lit up all the paths and plants, trees and greenhouses with lights. It was perfect because we had snow on the ground, making it a true 'winter wonderland'. Santa was even there in one of the greenhouses!













Charlie has a hot cocoa mustache

SANTA!

Charlie was prepared with what he was going to say and even laid his head on Santa's chest.

Jackson, on the other hand, just wanted to get off of his lap!

Happy Birthday Charlie & Taelynne

Charlie & Taelynne are 2 weeks apart and go to the same daycare. They had a combined birthday party with the daycare bunch and Charlie was so happy he got to share his birthday party with his 'girlfriend' Tae.

Pastry chef Charlie

He did REALLY well with sugar cookies. He floured the heck out of the board, rolled the dough, cut out cookies and placed them on the cookie sheet.

Since we we're in the middle of nowhere, we let Charlie steer for a mile or two

Charlie wouldn't put his hand in if you paid him in candy



He did sit and watch Daddy map out the design


Then poor daddy ended up finishing the pumpkin all by himself

The final product!

Jackson just a bit bigger than the boot!

Charlie asked Daddy to sit with him at his table....tight squeeze
