08/08/08 - Charity's Birthday - Surprise!

Happy Birthday to Charity!!! We celebrated her birthday with the 8's as much as we could. Jenna did a great job of setting up breakfast with Charity so it was a bit of a surprise that Ashley and Paisley also came. Then the bigger surprise was that I was there. (Ashley, thanks for the great suggestion that I come for the birthday celebration! Jenna, thanks for arranging breakfast perfectly!)

This picture shows our birthday breakfast location. I know you're impressed to see the beautifully wrapped 8 birthday gifts! Breakfast was planned for 8 am but we were running a little late.



Here's a cute picture of Paisley!












Weston was also really good at breakfast.













Here's a picture of us at the restaurant.













Charity had strawberry french toast and it was absolutely delicious! If you need a good breakfast location in Sacramento, ask Jenna for the name of this fabulous restaurant!











Weston is getting so big even since I was there in July.











Weston gave Aunt Charity lots of smiles and laughs for her on her birthday!












Jenna worked so hard to make a delicious dinner for Charity's birthday at 8 pm! Mango chicken, spinach/strawberry salad, Hawaiian rolls. I wish I could have eaten more! I think Jenna is the most patient cook - I think she chopped for several hours! I was impressed by her efforts. What a fabulous gift for Charity!

Jenna also taught me how to cut mangoes! Thanks Jenna!











Jason gets credit for the candles - In case you are wondering it's 32! Three singles candles for the "3" and the one "2" candle for the two! Good job Jason.

Ashley made these yummy cupcakes - chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting and marshmallow filling! Finger licking good. Ashley, thanks for making Charity's favorite cupcakes!








Pretty Paisley...................















Here's some of Charity's birthday gifts - a cute Olympics shirt and pants for working out at the gym.















A book on procrastination - so give her a little time and she'll have even more pointers if you need help with procrastination.











Jason and Ashley had this shirt made special for Charity. "There's counseling for that...." is a frequently spoken response by Charity. You can tell she is a therapist! She loved the shirt!












Jenna and Casey made this fun candy bar card for Charity! It was so cute and so creative! They also got her a beautiful bouquet of flowers!










Little Paisley starting to crawl.....
















Weston is doing great at sitting up all by himself!


















Paisley sure laughs and smiles if she gets a little tickling from her mother. I just love Paisley's laugh!










We played the bean game as Charity desired. She was quite the player! I dropped out to put Weston to sleep.

Jason and Casey, my apologies for not getting any good pictures of you..... I think I was too focused on the babies and Charity!

Of course, we ended the birthday by watching the Olympics until the end of the birthday!
