Carter and Blake's Birthday Party!

Since Carter and Blake's birthdays are only a couple of weeks apart, we decided to celebrate their birthdays with one big celebration.  The party took place at our house on Saturday, September 17th.  The theme for their party was Gone Fishin'.  Carter turned 4 on September 19th and Blake turned 2 on October 1st.

Carter was more cooperative and took pictures before the party.  Blake only wanted to eat the cookies.

Friends and family started to show up, so outside everyone went to blow off some steam and play for awhile before it was time to open presents!  I didn't snap too many photos because I was inside trying to organize the party. 

All the kids were starting to become hot and sweaty, so inside we went to open presents.  Carter and Blake were blessed with so many presents, they didn't know where to start opening.

Once all the presents were opened, it was time to sing happy birthday and eat some cake/cookies.  We sang Happy Birthday twice, so Blake and Carter had their own special song.  When it was time to blow out the candles, the candles kept sparking back to life.  Little did I know, I had bought the trick candles which relight themselves!!  Whoops! I was in such a hurry I grabbed the cheapest ones not even reading the label.  It made for a good laugh at least and a story we won't forget for awhile.

Carter and Blake want to thank everyone who helped them to feel special on their birthdays!!
