from me and from Toula...
Then early that evening, Mama and Jerry took us to Country Catfish in Oakland so Charles could enjoy some delicious catfish....
Charles enjoyed both his first plate and his second plate of fish!!
Then Charles and I traveled to Jackson. We stayed with Matt, LeAnna and Patrick. Patrick was still awake when we arrived, so we spent some time playing with him...Charles had as much if not more fun than Patrick did! Patrick let Charles put him to bed, and even though Charles was supposed to be reading Patrick some bedtime stories, Patrick instead taught Charles a cute monkey and alligator song - Patrick shared it with me the next morning!We got a great wake-up call Saturday morning from Patrick who let us know breakfast was on its way. Matt picked up some delicious doughnuts! Patrick wanted Charles to sit next to him to enjoy the doughnuts and chocolate milk - which Patrick told us gives him strong muscles which he flexed for us!
After breakfast Patrick finished his chocolate milk while he and Charles watched cartoons in the playroom...
Then we headed to Patrick's soccer game. The fields were wet, but thankfully, the rain held off so we could watch him play!Patrick took the field...
The Dawgs (I know, didn't they get the best team name!!) huddled for their instructions...
and then the game began...
The Dawgs played great! Charles and I made sure to wear maroon and white to support the Dawgs and even brought a couple of pom-poms to cheer them on with...
It was so cute to watch the little kids play soccer! Since only 4 children per team could be on the field, Patrick was rotated out...
but cheered for his teammates from the sidelines!
Patrick rotated back into the game...
and played some more...
After the game, Patrick got a "good game" hug from Charles...
and had a little fun being silly!
We then went back to Matt and LeAnna's house so Patrick could change out of his cute little soccer uniform, and we could eat lunch. Charles's mom drove up to meet us for lunch at El Sombrero. We had a great visit and a delicious lunch...
It was so nice of her to drive up to meet us and treat us to lunch!
It was so nice of her to drive up to meet us and treat us to lunch!We then played a little longer with Patrick...
then stopped by to see Charles's dad and then headed home.
We hit Batesville around dinner time, so Mama met us at Zaxby's and treated us to dinner. We watched the MSU/Vandy game, and were so glad State won! Go Dawgs!!!
Since everyone treated Charles all weekend to birthday meals, I waited until Sunday to cook him a birthday dinner of steak with sauteed onions and mushroom and a baked potato...
and for dessert, a pound cake - his favorite!
Thanks to everyone for making Charles's birthday weekend special for him and for me! We had a great time!!

Great post!! Thanks for coming down guys, we had a great time, especially Patrick! He's said a couple of times already that he misses his Uncle Charles and Aunt Mae Mae, and Monday night when we got to the soccer field he asked where his Uncle Charles was.
