A "SUPER" Day!


Saturday was Charlie's 3rd birthday. Many months ago he declared that he would like to have a Superman birthday party. He and my dad have a bond over Superman! So, after much hard work (mostly by Mimi), the Superman birthday party was a great success! All of our friends were there to celebrate with our little man. All but Anna Jane and Ally, who had to stay away because of the Swine Flu! A great time was had by all - as evidenced in the following pictures!

Our Superman!
All of the super heroes were there to celebrate - including Super Girl...
Muscle Man...

Wonder Woman...


Batman...

The Big Sister Twins...


Super Mommy and Clark Kent!

Charlie's godparents - Dan and Michele came too!

Other friends were there to celebrate with us as well!

The backyard was brimming with people - and fun!



Of course, it would be no party without Mimi and Papa's jumper!

The boys were a little wild, so the girls watched from afar for a while.

The highlight of the day was the incredible cake that Mimi made! She worked for days on it and it showed. This is just one angle where you can see Metropolis and The Daily Planet. The other side had the barn where Superman is discovered and also Crypton! It was incredible!

When it was time for cake, Chad rigged the outdoor speakers to blast the Superman theme song. As a joke I said, "Charlie, why don't you show us how Superman flies!" and with that he was off! It was priceless. Here is a video of that part of the party. You just have to see it!

Charlie's favorite person - Aracelli - our cleaning lady bought Charlie this lifesize Superman pinata for the celebration. It took Chad to finally pull it apart, but it was a wonderful addition to the fun!


Gathering up the loot!


"Super Baby" Emerson and Grandmother watched from afar!


It was a WONDERFUL day and it wouldn't have been the same without all of our family and friends there to celebrate with us! I can't believe my little boy is 3 already! I love you, Charlie-man. You are so precious to me and you will always be my Superman!
