Since Tristan was gone for Carter's actual birthday we decided to do a birthday gathering for Carter once he returned home. We chose a Sunday because that is what typically works best for our families, but that also meant having to squeeze it in after church got out at 4:00! Fortunately, it stays light late in September. The weather was still pretty decent and we didn't get chilly until after the sun went down. We had hamburgers and hot dogs and just let the kids play!
The sandbox is always a fave for Carter!

Opening gifts. At first Carter just watched what I was doing...
then he decided to get in on the action!
Time for cake!
Who cries over cake? It's just a thing for my one-year-olds. Ethan wasn't impressed either.
Showing him how to blow out the candles
Digging in! This was right before he threw that huge piece in his hand!
Trying to show him what he's missing out on
No, mom, I don't want cake! Seriously?!
Yummy Costco cake for the rest of us!
One year has seemed to come so quickly. I was so grateful to have the opportunity to celebrate Carter with our family. We are grateful for those who came and let our little man know how special is to all of us!!
