Carter's 2nd Birthday Party!!

Yesterday was a perfect day to celebrate Carter's 2nd birthday.  The weather was a perfect fall day with the sun shining and temperatures at the low 70's.  Carter loves the Despicable Me movies, mostly the minions, so I decided to throw a Minion Party for Carter's birthday.  He was super excited when Bill brought home the minion balloons!


Carter took a nice nap right up to the time his party started.  I had to wake the birthday boy up because all of his guests started to arrive.  We had a delicious cookout with lots of good food and played outside!


After everyone stuffed themselves with food, we opened presents outside.  The first present Carter opened was from Aunt KK and Jimmy, which was little figurine animals.  Carter loved them and didn't want to open anything else!  Carter kept walking around showing his animals off to everyone, so Nolan helped open Carter's other cards and presents.  Carter received a singing birthday card from Meme and Poppy and thought it was pretty cool too.


 Carter received a bike helmet from his big brother and a balance bike from mommy and daddy!  Carter tries to ride Nolan's bike all the time, so I did some research and a balance bike is just want Carter needed.


All of the presents were opened, all of the guests were thanked, and it was time to eat some cake and ice cream!  Nolan helped Carter blow out the candle because Carter wasn't too sure about what to do with the candle flame.


Carter really liked his cake!


Daddy and I put Carter's balance bike together.  As soon as the handle bars were placed, Carter jumped on the bike and took off!  Carter is doing fantastic with the bike and hasn't wanted to put it down since his party.  We walked all around the neighborhood and Carter just beams because he is so proud of himself!


Pinata time! 

Thank you to everyone who helped Carter celebrate his 2nd birthday!  Carter is so blessed to have such amazing family and friends in his life.  Carter had a perfect day and ended the night staying up late with some great friends, the Kellers!!
