Happy Birthday Carson!!!

My boy turned 4 on Saturday, but was sick, so we postponed the celebration to Monday. Carson had fun with his cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. Audrey took the reign on the games and did a great job organizing and heading it up. There was pin the #1 on Thomas and a candy walk. She also helped with decorations. We had pizza, fruit, and a Thomas cake (please don’t look too close at the pictures). It was my first attempt at something this grandiose as to the way of cake making/decorating. I also learned that for me fondant is a fon don’t (thanks Sylvia for the wording). All in all, Carson loved it and that is what matters. I love my boy and feel so blessed that Heavenly Father sent me a son amongst all of my beautiful daughters. He balances us out (or at least tries). Carson was so cute as he was opening his gifts. After he opened each present he would say in such a sweet voice “oh, that’s so nice”. What a gracious little boy.
