Carter's 2nd Birthday Party

Last year, I tried to have a party for Carter before Christmas, like a normal birthday party that didn't have to deal with the Christmas hustle and bustle, but it didn't happen because of the weather. So this year, I tried again and it worked!

It made for a crazy weekend, because I also planned the party the same weekend as our play at church. But it was easier for everyone to travel up for one weekend and do two things, right?!
Anyway, Carter isn't actually two yet, until the 26th of the month, but he thinks he is! He had a great party and got lots of new things to fight with Caden over...wait, I mean play with! We did a Mickey theme, since he is still big on Mickey after our Orlando trip!
He got some great gifts! He is big into music right now, so his Aunt Jana got him this really cool drum! He also got a band in a box and a recorder (from Caden) My boys love to help Momma cook - which is odd, since I don't cook alot - anyway, now Carter has his own apron! He was proud, can you tell?
This is my attempt at making his birthday cake. Not great, but not bad either!
Here is the reason the "y" is messed up in the above picture. Little man couldn't keep his fingers off the cake. He just kept sneaking bites of icing!
I loved his reaction while we were all singing "Happy Birthday". He thought we were funny and he was just grinning from ear to ear!
He tried to blow out the candle before we even started singing, so I am surprised I actually got a picture of this! He was so fast!

1. Happy (early) birthday, sweet Carter!

2. So, that's where the drum came from, huh?

3. Maybe you can teach Carter to do all the cooking FOR you! :-)

4. And, that cake looks GREAT! I am so proud of you for attempting (unlike myself) a picture, rather than just the words, "happy birthday"....that's as far as I can usually muster! :-)
