3rd Birthday Bash

Sorry for the big delay in blogging! We have been super-duper busy and I am just now taking it all in. LOTS has happened this weekend, but most importantly it was our Carter Alan's big birthday bash. FYI: I will be posting this week on the "crafting" that went along with his party.

Invitations were made on shutterfly and were sent to 6 special friends. Sophia, Bella, Benjamin, Cody, Owen, and Ethan. All came but one, all wonderful parents stayed, and everyone had a great time at the Indianapolis Children's Museum!

We have always had Carter's birthday parties at home, but this year we ventured out. It was really quite affordable {we paid for the children's admission and asked for no gifts}. Believe it or not, we spent a little less on this birthday party than in years past. Instead of hosting a birthday party using the museum's birthday party room - we opted to take sack lunches and eat in the food court {more to come on the sack lunches}. My mom made wonderfully delicious cupcakes and an Elmo cake for our special boy. The kids had PB&J sandwiches, chips, fruit-snacks, and juice-boxes.

Carter got wonderful gifts this year. Lots of puzzles, floor-puzzles, and musical instruments. Drums, drum-pad, guitar, and new tennis shoes. He was in heaven. I believe he wants to be just like his Daddy -- a creative guitar genius.

We will continue playing now.
