Carter's Birthday

We had Carter's birthday party on Saturday and I think he was a little confused on when his actually birthday is. When I went into his room this morning and told him "happy birthday", he asked something like "I'm 3 now?" in a really confused tone. Then he ran to find Brian and tell him that he's now 3.

We celebrated Carter's birthday this morning since the boys can be crazy/moody in the evenings and we never know when Brian will be getting home.

We had birthday pancakes to start the day. Please ignore my horrid singing in this video!

After breakfast, we let Carter open up his presents from us. He also had a few from Brian's parents and one from my mom.


The first few presents Carter wanted to have opened right after he ripped off the paper so he could play with them immediately. But then he just wanted to keep opening gifts without really even looking at what he got.

All of our presents to Carter were bought at the Target toy clearances in January and July ...




Carter had school today so we didn't do anything very exciting for his birthday. Rylan took an afternoon nap after I picked Carter up and then I fed the kids dinner before Brian got home. We had celebratory brownies and sang "Happy Birthday" to Carter one more time.



Carter likes cake and cookies but apparently not brownies. He took one little bite and then handed the brownie off to Brian. He ended up with a leftover cookie from his preschool celebration instead.
