Celebrating Charlotte's 5th Birthday with C c c

Charlotte may live in Michigan, but she was in our thoughts and heart all day on the 21st as we looked for ways that started with the letter C to celebrate her 5th birthday .  Here is what the Mesa, Arizona branch of the family came up with...

Before the Crack of dawn, Pepere ate his Cereal at the Computer with Charlotte and other grandkids

Sean chose a Collared, Checked, Cornflower blue shirt to wear.  Doesn't he look Chipper?!

Breakfast was all about Circles.  AJ designed these pancakes.  The right one is singing "Happy Birthday to You"

Meme wore her hair Curly, and Chose a Crimson red, collared shirt.  The Card was drawn with Crayola  markers.

Lunch was a Cranberry, Pecan, Chicken Salad Sandwich on a Croissant with Cheetos and Celery sticks.  Jeanette and Devin took some with them for the car ride back to Flagstaff.

Don & Lisa brought a Collection of 'C' games to play with Cousins...Kemp, Chloe, Bentley, Curtis & Charly.  We had Connect Four, Lego Creators, Chess, Chinese Checkers, Cadoo, Chutes & Ladders, and Canasta to choose from.

The Cousins chose 'Lego Creators'.  Chloe Constructed her Creation 1st!

5 Candles on Carrot Cake (no raisins) with Cream Cheese frosting.
(Kemp wanted to know how you could have a party without Charlotte?!?)

Happy Birthday, Charlotte!  Here's your piece of  carrot cake...maybe Pepere can help you consume it (lol)

And from other Lussier's...

We didn't take any pictures, but mom can vouch for most of our "C" activities as we shared the majority of their C-meals. We had a circular breakfast and a lunch that was amazing, and I'll let mom take credit for both. 

Dev and I had to take a car ride back home in capricious Flagstaff. When we got home we left the door open so we could chill in the chilly air. Then we ate chicken for dinner while watching "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs." After dinner we cleaned up a bit and had a cook-off playing Cooking Mama.

We sure do love ya Charlotte A Yates!!

This was easier for me to do than send an email with all the pictures I know Mom wants. Here's a link if you haven't seen what I posted on Facebook. I think my favorite part of the day was when Charlotte was telling Alaynna we were going to dinner and had to clarify by saying "You know, a Sea (C) restaurant, like the water."

P.S. And, no, this doesn't mean I will be blogging with any sense of regularity.  :)

We had a crazy carnival of 'c's today!
Cleaned the counters, cabinets, counters, Owen's chompers, clothes and carpet.
Called Charlotte and Sang "Cappy Cirthday co cou" and sent a card.
Made chilled-chocolate-cluster-cookie-cake and lit a candle.

Charlotte, we sure loved celebrating your birthday this year!
