don't ask me what kind of smile that is.....
It's hard to believe 4 years ago today, on a VERY cold December morning, I gave birth to my last child...another boy..... I was thoroughly convinced that all the doctors and sonograms were wrong and he was going to be a girl. Um. Nope. They were all right. It's a boy! (as if I didn't know that they were going to be right and I was going to have to deal with 2 boys for the rest of my life). Don't worry--I bought stock in Aleve! ha!
Enough of that--down to business--the BIRTHDAY PARTY! We woke up Sunday morning to rain. Mind you, we've essentially been in a drought for weeks and weeks and all of a sudden, on my child's party day, it has to rain. Yeah, thanks...I needed that stress. (deep breath)So.....we had to change the party site/location to a cousin's barn down the road from our house. It was fine though, and all worked out well. The kids played in the yard, ran around like wild banshees and had fun! That's what counts!
I always make their birthday cakes, but this year, decided to go even further and use fondant on Carter's cake....here's the end result! Not perfect, but hey--I did the best I could, and it's cute , if I say-so myself.
We decorated the inside of the barn with some construction balloons and tablecloths, etc.
The goody bags we gave out to Carter's "little" friends....
And of course, we had a gift table.........
Carter got so many nice things from his friends and family.....I just love the looks on his face in these next few pictures....you can literally see the excitement!
Showing everyone his bow and arrow from his "Uncle" Travis and "Aunt" Cori
Overall, a great party and the kids had fun and my BABY did too!
