The Nelson Family Smorgasbord: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!...and Happy Birthday, Charly Wynn!

Charly Chuckles

November 4, 2008 "Care-fo, Gama"- While carting around "Roberts", Charly saw an older employee standing on a tall stepping stool, putting some yarn away. ("Careful, Grandma!") September 3, 2008 This morning Charly was in her high chair eating breakfast when I heard her from the other room saying, "Wheee! Wheee! Wheeeeee!" I walked into the kitchen and saw her sliding her Life cereal squares down the slope of her bowl into her pool of milk. What an imagination!! :-) ****************** August 22, 2008 This morning Charly and I were sliding down the stairs on our bums when she looked up at Mommy's wedding pictures up on the wall. I asked her who that was and she said, "Mommy PINCESS!" (Princess!)....with absolutely no coaching! That just made my day!! ******* August 22, 2008 One night Jordan was making dinner and burnt something after which he bellowed out "Dang!". Charly immediately echoed, "DANG!" Now every morning when Daddy goes in with me to sing to her, she says, "Daddy Dang!"

Last weekend was all sorts of fun! I love doing "Girls' Nights Out" with my nieces a couple times a year and last Friday we booked a room at a hotel, just me and the three oldest girls on the Dahlquist side....of course, Charly tagged along until Daddy came and picked her up after work! We had a blast! I love these girls SO much! The pictures tell all! Enjoy!

A few little surprises I left on the bed for when the girls arrived! This hotel was awesome! They gave each of the girls a fun mesh backpack with all kinds of goodies, gifts and coupons inside!

I found these edible Love Notes at Walmart. They tasted like Cherry Cardboard...yummy! Even the ink is edible!

Celebrating Charly's birthday with a Little Debbie's Strawberry Shortcake treat!

Okay, I DID bring apples and healthy popcorn! They are just not pictured!

Charly was in HEAVEN!

Warming up in the bath after a freezing cold walk back to our room!

melanie33 said...: you are a fun aunt!! what a cute idea.
btw... i am totally serious about the snickers thing. ask your dr about it. My doctor said it had to be a King sized snickers consumed within 5 minutes (which is a little difficult) but way better than the alternative; I am 27 weeks and just took that test this week so you are coming up on it!; February 19, 2009 at 3:24 PM
