Carter's 1st Birthday

Wednesday morning Carter woke up to the fire place mantel all decorated for his special day. Although he doesn't care now, this has become a tradition the kids really look forward to :)
My Birthday boy at 8:24am (the exact minute he turned 1)
playing with his decorations
checking out his presents from Mommy, Daddy, Cristian, and Ava
That night I made Carter a special birthday dinner... some of his favorites: chicken, rice, squash, and green beans.
Carter loves water
My mom made him a yummy peach dessert. Here we are singing happy birthday to him.
diving in...
and he ate it all :)
opening his presents from us
The kids picked out this musical instrument set for him, it has a drum, tambourine, maracas, and a few other things in it.
So excited about his yogurt puffs :)

It was so funny watching him walk around with this on... here he is giving me a big hug :)
