Karter's Birthday Party

This weekend Kim and Terry drove up to spend some time with us. We were happy they were here to help us celebrate Karter's birthday, and the boys really enjoyed having their Gramaw and Papaw around for a few days!

Karter had been talking about his party all week...he kept saying "elmo cake, Gramaw Papaw, open presents". He was super excited to open presents and was pretty good at ripping into them...





The main theme to most of his presents was Elmo and books...definitely his two favorite things! Every time he would open a book he would want Kristoffer to read it instantly.

Kristoffer and I got him this cute little tricycle. He really wants to ride it, but he needs just to be a little bit taller.

After presents it was time for cake!

As part of our family tradition, Karter got to eat his cake on the "Special Day" plate!

He wanted an Oscar cupcake to go with his Elmo cake...it was his party!

It was a great evening celebrating our big boys 2nd birthday!!
