Carter is (almost) 7

Poor Carter. It is not ideal to have a birthday 4 days after Christmas. In the past we've let Carter open his birthday presents early on Braden's birthday. That worked okay for a while as the boys usually got similar gifts, but last year I felt that it was time to try something new. Kam and I discussed it and decided that Carter could open his presents on a designated day in November. This year though, Carter got to have a friend party so we went all out celebrating. Carter chose a pirate party theme. We asked his friend to come dressed in their best pirate attire and played Pirate Bingo, Ring the Cap'n's Hook, Cannonball Blast, Crock-Toss and went on a treasure hunt. Carter's favorite part was opening presents and eating his Crock Cake.

He got to open one present before the party from mom and dad.


We tied balloons to the kids ankles and they had to
pop the others "cannons" before their was popped.



Carter was so excited for this gift. He thought it was a movie
but it was a wii game he had been wanting. I loved his reaction!

Happy Birthday my Carter Boy! You are smart, funny, quiet, stubborn, a great brother especially to your little sister, excited about school and learning, and the best snuggle bug ever! Love you!
