Carter's 3rd Birthday Party!

This Saturday, we celebrated Carter's 3rd birthday.  Carter chose John Deere tractors to be the theme of his party this year, so yellow and green it was.  Instead of cake I decided to have cookies and brownies.  Cookie Girl Delight out of Litchfield made Carter's cookies.  I know it's hard to imagine, but the cookies tasted even better than they looked!!! Yummy.   I did purchase a cupcake to put a candle in for Carter to make a birthday wish and then blow out.

Before the party started, and Carter got something on his shirt, I wanted to take some pictures.  Carter being the crazy man that he is, didn't want his picture taken.  I may or may not have bribed Carter with a cookie, but in the end I believe I captured his silly personality along with his dimple.

Carter picking out his cookie for taking pictures.  Nolan had to have one too.

 Once all the guests arrived for the party, plates and bellies were filled.  Lots of delicious food was eaten and the kiddos had fun playing outside.  It was time to open presents, but Carter had to be drug inside first.  He did not want to stop playing with his friends, but when he came in and saw the pile of presents he changed his mind.

Carter received a ton of great presents and by the end of the night he had played with them all.  Carter is a very loved little boy and we are so blessed to have such great family and friends to spoil him.

Carter is obsessed with wearing boots of any kind.  Recently his trusty yellow rain boots sprung a leak because he wore them so much.  Carter's favorite color is orange, so orange rain boots he received.  

Carter became very shy when everyone gathered around to sing happy birthday to him.  He was very cautious about blowing out the candle too.  Thank goodness his buddy Emmett stood by his side and helped him out.  Carter blew the candle out on his second try!!

After once more of stuffing ourselves, but with sweets this time, outside the kids went.  Back to the bounce house.  They had to work all the sugar off!

After everyone left, Carter came back in to play with his toys once more before bed.

A huge thank you to everyone who came to Carter's party and helped him celebrate turning 3!!  He doesn't officially turn 3 until the 19th, so I won't be too emotional in this post!!
