Carter's First Birthday Party

We had a lot of fun putting Carter's very first birthday party together.  Or should I say I had a lot of fun...  Gabe did a very good job supervising the boys. :)

We invited just a few of Carters little friends his same age to enjoy the party with him.

and aren't they cute!

We were kinda able to get a picture or two of a few of them together...

As you can see the homemade balloon bouquet was a hit... for Sam anyway!  He had a lot of fun until he got tangled up.  I don't blame him for getting upset about that.

We tried to get into the party spirit, but he didn't seem to be too fond of the hat, even though he looks darn cute.

Then it was time to enjoy the cake!

Preston enjoyed it a little too much... and a little too soon. :)

Carter had his own little cake for the occasion.  I had a photo shoot with him the morning of which is why half of it was already missing by the time the party started.

He started out by slowly examining.

Then he dug right in!  I personally find this next series of pictures rather hilarious...

Watch it fall!

He was sure proud of himself.  You should have seen his shirt pocket, it was filled to the brim with cake!

Sam is only a few months older than Carter and was doing an awesome job with a fork!

On to the presents we went.  By this time Carter was down from his sugar high and ready for a nap, but we still think he had fun, and Preston sure loved helping him!

He's such a little man already!  Happy Birthday Carter!

After the opening of the presents we of course did enjoy spending a little time enjoying them!  Thanks Holly for taking these pictures for me!
