Good Morning Birthday Boy!
It is hard for me to believe that when Aubrey turned one I thought she was so "big" but they are actually still babies (or maybe I just want him to stay my baby a little longer :-)
His sisters wanted to be the first ones to wish him a Happy Birthday.
He loves this riding John Deere truck that he got from the Chenoweths. We are finally getting some boy toys around here.
One of the benefits of working for a welding supply company is that we always have helium available which means balloons for ANY occasion. I have tried to tie balloons to each of their chairs on their birthdays as a special treat. I quickly learned this morning that it will not be necessary to continue that tradition for Carter. He was extremely afraid of them and didn't stop crying until we took them off. Who knew?
Another birthday tradition is chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. We have pancakes often but the treat is the chocolate chips of course!
Carter's birthday was our normal Wednesday routine of gymnastics for the girls in the morning, lunch and nap. We did celebrate again at dinner with chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes.
Singing Happy Birthday! Daddy is on the watch for any grabbing of the burning candle.
This is the best part of the first birthday celebration...eating the cake. There are a number of pictures of the event but each facial expression is more precious than the last. Yes, that is the entire cupcake he is trying to shove into his mouth.
He lost his clothes somewhere in the cake eating process so he opened his presents in only a diaper. Oh well!
"What is in here?"
A very creative way of trying to find out what is in the box.
"These are my cars."
Carter - We love your big blue eyes, your enormous smile, your bear hugs, your deep laugh, your motivation and determination. -Love, Daddy, Mommy, Aubrey, Lily and Emery
