Carter's 4th Birthday

We didn't do a party for Carter's Birthday this year. Instead we just put up a few decorations and had a BBQ with a couple of good friends. My mom and step dad were still here visiting which was nice. Here are a few highlights.

This is the Birthday hat that Carter got from school.

He was so proud to wear it.

I baked and iced the top tier of his cake a few days prior to his birthday and put it in the outside fridge. Later I noticed that someone had nibbled on it. When I asked Carter about it he said that he saw it in there and just wanted to smell it. I asked how the bite mark got there and he said, "Well it just smelled so good that I had to take a little taste." At least it was his own cake. I fixed it in plenty of time for Birthday candles.

He was so worn out that he fell asleep with his new truck right in the middle of the walkway. Turns out the poor little guys wasn't feeling well, but he said he had a fun birthday anyway.

Here are some things about Carter:

He LOVES his sister more than anything in the world.

"The Backyardigans" is his favorite show.

He loves green beans, french fries, and going to the car wash.

He is very sweet, complimentary, and observant.

He is incredibly helpful.

He is very attached to his grandmothers and talks about them all the time.

He would prefer to be outside or in the garage with his dad.

He gives great hugs.

I can't believe he's already 4. He is growing so fast. We love him so much!!!
