We celebrated Carter's 4th birthday today with our family and friends. Carter had a fantastic time, and I was reminded again how truly lucky we are in life.
She started her "big day" at 6:45am and cartoons. Andy and I didn't stir much until about 7:30am. We got cleaned up, and Carter and Andy went to pick up her cake, while I prepared birthday beans and lunch goodies.
Around 10:30am, our friends started to show up. Neighborhood pals Elisa and Ally, Cousins Courtney and Marissa, daycare BFF's Ava (the other hair cutter!) and Allie, and buddies Isaac and Ian. The kids ran and played, inside and out, and had a great time! Adults watched with smiles, and chatted, catching up.
Andy grilled a tasty lunch, and Grandpa couldn't wait to break into the cake (which everyone wanted a piece of Tinkerbell!). Then a very impatient Carter moved on to presents, which she loves. She received some wonderful new books (we're all looking forward to something new!) and some fun new toys and games.
It was a beautiful day, and a perfect party. Thanks everyone, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Carter Kay! We LOVE you so very much!
Happy 4th Birthday, Carter!
Carter's pals: Ava, Elisa, Allie and the Birthday Girl
Chalupa's enjoying the day
Note who's breaking into the cake. None of the kids!!
After Happy Birthday to Carter, she blew out all 4 candles ...
... then the heard of surrounding cake-vultures dug in!
Carter had some great help opening her super presents! Allie and Ava are showing Carter their favorite part of Fancy Nancy
Our favorite Lensch girls: Carter, Ava and Allie (she adores these 2!!!)
Neighbor pals Elisa and Carter
Cute cousins: Courtney (4 next month) and Carter (4 on Wednesday)
