Yes it is true, our sweet boy has turned 6. Six years ago today our lives changed forever with the arrival of this sweet baby boy. He has been a pure joy and true blessing to us ever since. We are so proud of the little man he has turned into. He is such a great friend to everyone, protector of Claire, helper of anything you ask of him, and has the kindest heart of anyone I know. He still holds my hand when we go somewhere and even thanks me every night for making him supper. Isn't he a handsome young man?
We let Carter have his first "friend" party this year. He decided he wanted go to with a Star Wars theme, complete with light saber cake made by our wonderful neighbor Elizabeth.
Carter invited 5 friends, plus his sister to Warrior Lanes for a bowling party. The kids had a blast, enjoyed some pizza and Carter was showered with lots of gifts!
Claire was super funny at the bowling alley, always cracking us up. She would push the ball down the lane then put her hands on her knees and talk to the ball as it SLOWLY rolled away. She would clap her hands and yell, "I did it!" every time, no matter how many pins she hit!
The whole bowling gang! Notice the girls outnumber the boys? He is quite the ladies man!
Carter's birthday was on a Monday this year, so now that he is in school, we had to celebrate a little differently. Usually we let him eat his way through the day with whatever he chooses, this year we had to cut back and only splurged on supper at his favorite establishment, McDonalds. He did take ice cream sandwiches to school to share as his birthday snack.
