Carter Wayne turned 4 on Saturday. I’m pretty sure it was the hottest day of the year to have his party. I just keep reminding myself that at least it didn’t rain!

I told him Happy Birthday that morning when he woke up. About a half hour later when we were getting ready to eat breakfast, he asked if his birthday was tomorrow. I told him, No – it’s today! He told me he wouldn’t be 4 until he had his cake. And then later that morning he asked me how much longer until he turned 5…

We sang Happy Birthday to him and let him blow out candles on his donut for breakfast that morning. In case you’re wondering, he’s taken a liking to sleeping in his undies…

Time for presents!

Singing Happy Birthday and blowing out his candles:

After most of everyone left, we moved inside and he got to play with some of his new stuff with Dinah and Paul:

Then we moved outside and Carter gave rides on his Hummer. Dinah also broke in Carter’s bike and showed him how to pedal it:

Happy Birthday Carter – I love you!!!
