Carter's 3rd Birthday


My baby is 3. How did that happen? I'm starting to feel old :(  Grandma Whiting and Aunt Shelly sent Carter presents for his Birthday and he loved opening them as much as he loved the presents inside. Grandma got him A bunch of Cars Cars and a big boy backpack, and Aunt Shelly got him clothes, McQueen, and Tractors. What a spoiled little boy :)

He is showing off his Cars.



Opening his presents. .. .


For his birthday I decided to do a Cookie Monster theme because Carter loves him. I made some pom poms and put Cookie Monsters face on them!



Here is one of them hanging outside on the tree. .


And the cake!! I thought the idea was really cute and Judith was nice enough to help me make it!
(and by "help" I mean she did most of it! ha ha)





 Since it was a cookie monster party there had to be lots of cookies! I ended up making 4 batches of cookies, and even with using 2 stoves to cook them it still took about 2 hours to get them all done. I made about 40 cupcakes (i know, overkill) that all looked like cookie monster, Thank you Nicole and Judith for helping me decorate them! I couldn't have done it without you!!! However even with making soooooo many cookies and cupcakes, I didn't take a single one home, so I guess I hadn't gone too crazy.


My fridge was taken over by Cookie Monster. . ..
