Carter's 4th Birthday

Carter wanted a dinosaur themed party this year.  Carter and Ella Catherine helped me make his dinosaur cake.  He picked the frosting color and he and Ella Catherine added all the candies to make the dinosaurs scales and claws.  Since we have been having beautiful weather we decided to have the party at a local park.  Wouldn't you know that the weather would become extremely hot and humid the day of the party.  The kids didn't seem to mind the heat and there was a nice shaded shelter for the parents plus lots of cold water.  It was fun to see him running around with all his friends from school.  Most of the kids he has been in school with since he was 8 weeks old.  We had a great day celebrating our little miracle.
 
At 4 years old Carter is still the sweet, funny little guy he has always been.  His facial expressions crack us up!  However, Matt and I marvel almost daily at how quickly he is maturing.  His vocabulary is growing and the way he approaches situations is changing.  He is definitely beyond the toddler stage and rapidly approaching school age years.  We are so very blessed to be his parents.
