birthday party

On Thursday night, we had a family birthday celebration for Carter. Grandad & Grandma Nancy drove in all the way from Lawrence! Aunt Debbie, Uncle Scot, cousin Kelsie, and our good friend Mike Reed came over to help us celebrate our little boy. We had a pizza party and yummy cupcakes. The only thing I actually prepared myself was a salad!

Grandad couldn't open the tool kit fast enough...

Cool screwdriver!

Check out my new hammer!

Carter got a lot of nice gifts for his birthday. Thank you Grandma Nancy & Grandad for the cozy PJ's (and matching set & onesie for baby brother), tool kit & new book!

Thank you Mimi & Grampy for the cute Halloween stuff & new Thomas toys for my train table! How cool!

Thank you Grandma Pat & Grandpa Dan for the great outfit & CD with music especially made for me!! What a unique gift!

This CD has songs with Carter's name used in them. Carter thinks that is pretty cool!

Thanks to everyone for the wonderful gifts & for helping us celebrate with Carter.

We love you all!
