Six

I don't know how it happened, but my BABY turned Six!!!!

Yikes!!!!!!!! 

He is still as adorable as ever!

Where has the time gone?

Six years ago we welcomed him into our arms.

And today we are doing our best to stay up with him!

It is such a JOY to be Carter's mom.

I am so lucky!!!!

We had an Easter Birthday celebration because his birthday was so close to Easter this year.

For the first time, we had an all boy party.

It was fun, but definitely different!

April 16th, 2011

We started off the party with a movie.

Hop

Afterwards, we came home for Ice cream and Cake.

I made an Easter Basket Cake.

Carter loved it and requested a bunny rabbit cake for his real birthday.

We opened presents.

 After presents,  we headed outside for an Easter Egg Hunt.

200 eggs and 10 kids and the eggs vanished much faster than I anticipated!

The kids had fun though so that's all that matters!

The kids had fun eating their candy for a few minutes before they went home.

I strategically planned the egg hunt last, so they could all take their candy home!

I am sure their parents loved me!

Popcorn, Punch, Cake, Ice Cream, Candy..... Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar!!

Carter had such a great time! 

After the party he immediately played with his two new webkinz buddies; Frank and Ziggy!

April 18th, 2011

Carter woke up to wrapped presents on the coffee table.

He was sooo excited and begged to open one present before school!

He was ecstatic about his very own Wii Remote control!

So excited, in fact, that he had to call Aunt Misty to tell her about it!

Carter took chocolate doughnuts to school for his birthday treat

and came home wearing a birthday crown.

We had the family over for dinner- Carter's Choice...... Lasagna!

(Well, he originally wanted Sushi but not everyone likes it, so he

went with his second choice, lasagna.)

Carter was very excited to open his presents!

He loved the huge chocolate bar and baby pillow pet from Grandma and Grandpa.

He was thrilled to get money from his other grandparents too!

He was also very excited about his new video games,

and Lego sets.

For the first time, he read all of his cards by himself and did a fantastic job!

(And I really should add that there were BIG words in some of the cards too!)

His Bunny Cake turned out really cute!

And it was rather easy too!

We sang Happy Birthday

(Loved that Carter sang too! and added "Cha, Cha, Cha..... After each line)

I also love that he is still holding his money!

I still can't believe my baby is six!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny Tidbit- Carter let go of a little gas the morning of his birthday and he started giggling and announced, "He, he, he...... Those are SIX year old farts!" 

Oh my......  I guess six year olds still think bodily functions are funny!  Lovely!  When does that end??
