Carter Turns 4!!!!

Happy "Golden" Birthday Carter David!!! 4 years old on the 4th of March this year. What a very special celebration. It is so hard to believe that my baby is 4! I am so proud of him. He is not only one of the most handsome little boys I know (always dressed in his best!) but also such a bright, funny, prankster kid that loves playing hard and loves his family. Carter has blossomed into such a creative child with a brilliant imagination. And although can be a bit stubborn at times, he really does have a soft side to him. He is still very much so into trucks and train. Recently, he has become interested in sports. Football in particular. He is always telling me his is going to be either a football player or doctor when he grows up. He loves to color "perfectly" and can't get enough of Caillou, Toy Store (Buzz & Woody) & Scooby Doo.
We hosted his 4th party this year at Brunswick Zone a bowling alley/arcade. Carter loves to bowl so we figured it would be a perfect place! The party was super fun and Aunt Kendra topped it off with a personalized bowling pin for him. Everyone signed it and he got to take it home. He loved it. Mommy got him a Toy Store birthday cake with his picture on it and of course he got a TON of gifts! His BIG birthday gift though was his BIKE!!! We got Carter a brand new big boy bike. A very nice one I might add. It is blue of course and he loves it. Now only if the weather would turn nice so he can get a riding it! The day of his actual birthday, mommy, Gavin & Cassie (our babysitter) went to his school and brought in ice cream treats. Carter's favorite treat. Gavin brought him a BIG Buzz Light Year shaped balloon too for a surprise. The family then headed out to Red Robin for a birthday dinner filled with singing and another ice cream treat! That weekend as well, we visited Noonie & Papa's house and they had a cake for him and the Robinson's came over to play. Lastly, just this past week we had yet another birthday celebration with Carter. This one though, was a "group" party with all our city friends. We are still very much a part of that awesome mother's group from Bubbles that started when our babies were 3 months old. So we had 11 kids turning 4 years old all within 1 month of each other!!! What an awesome birthday celebration at Kid City in Chicago.
All and all I think Carter had a very memorable 4th Birthday.
Happy Birthday Carter, my love, my life. It has been an honor being your mommy thus far!
