One party just wasn't enough. We had to have two!
Happy birthday baby Carter!
Carter was getting a little annoyed with all the chaos. He didn't understand why we were cooking and cleaning and decorating. After all, it was his birthday.
Shouldn't he get all the attention?!?!
We had to be a bit creative with how we could hold him and still bake cakes and cookies.
Mommy thought that each person should have their own little birthday cake.
Cute, Cute, Cute!
The cakes started to slide a little bit, so we had dessert first.
This is Carter's little birthday cake.
Next year Carter can have candles.
And, the cake smash begins!
Guess he had enough cake.
After a little cleaning up and a onesie change,
Carter was ready to celebrate.
We love to party!
We decided to have Carter's favorite foods for dinner, but make them adult style:
Carter Loves = What We Ate
Chicken = Crispy Panko Chicken
Pasta = Sonia's Mac and Cheese
Bread =Lion House Rolls with Raspberry Butter
Tomatoes and Mozzarella = Caprese Salad
Mangoes = Mango and Jicama Sticks
Cheese = Brie Bites
Fruit = Watermelon Alligators, Strawberry mice and Fruit Kabobs
Thanks to everyone who made and brought such yummy food.
Carter really liked the watermelon alligators
