Carter's long awaited birthday finally arrived last Thursday. He was so excited, he had to check with me periodically throughout the day just to make sure he really was 5 and not 4 anymore! He woke the rest of us up at 6 am shouting "It's my birthday!" Kaleb & I tried to stay in bed as long as we could but we heard wrapping paper being ripped to shreds in the front room so we thought we better join the party. Carter recently started riding his bike without training wheels, but the bike he had was so tiny, he looked like a little clown, so we thought we better get him a bigger one! Along with that he had also requested specific Iron Man toys, so he pretty much knew what was in all his presents, but it didn't make him any less thrilled! We waited until Saturday to have his party so all his grandparents could be there. He was also surprised to see his cousin Tallon! I got a pinata not knowing how safe it would be to let those wild little kids swing at it with a bat, but luckily it turned out to have ribbons they could pull instead. They loved all the candy, and I'm sure their parents loved us sending them all home with bags full of sugar and a mouth full of cavities!
