Carter's Birthday Week!

Carter's birthday is July 26th, but we have been celebrating all week!!! We started out by letting him open up the presents from the Mamaws in Florida, which was really fun because he hadn't opened up any presents since Christmas. He is still a little tentative, but I think that he is getting used to it. I loved all of the clothes (especially the pajamas), but he preferred the fire truck!

Saturday afternoon we had Carter's birthday party! We had it a week early because our church's VBS is next week, so we didn't want to interrupt any decorating plans for next weekend. We ended up having 38 people at the party, so I guess it was a good plan. We set up a slip and slide (thank you Cheatham's), a wriggle sprinkler, and a little pool with a slide and a palm tree sprinkler. Carter had a great time running from one water toy to the next, and I think that all of the kids had a good time, too. After cake and ice cream, Carter had some help opening up his presents from his dad and all of his friends. He got so many great toys- now where do we put them? Honestly, we feel very blessed that everyone came out to wish Carter a great birthday! Thank you so much!

After the party, we went to Firehouse Subs for dinner. Carter was so tired at 6:30 that he fell asleep in the car, slept through dinner, the ride home, and through the night until 6:00 the next morning. I guess he just played himself out!
