Happy 30th Birthday Nick

Sunday was Nick's birthday. Kids sure make birthdays more fun. From the minute Emma woke up she reveled in Dad's birthday. It was really fun. We made him a candy bar bouquet and took it to him at work Friday. Thanks Sarah R. for picking out and sending the bottle. It was great. The girls and I had so much fun making our bouquet, and Nick really enjoyed it (and is still enjoying it). Thanks Jadi for sharing the idea.


Food is one of our birthday favorites, so we celebrated Nick by eating well. The recipes below are those we made Sunday. What can I say, the Charles family loves to eat.

Happy, happy belated birthday. Hope you had a great day. Looks like we will be moving up to IF when our house sells. It will be fun to be somewhat close.
