Carter's Birthday Bash

Carter turned 3 (!!) on Tuesday, July 20th. Since we had family here to meet Miss Ashlyn, we decided to have an early birthday celebration for Carter on Saturday, July 17th (yes, the day after we came home from the hospital)!

Partiers included: our new family of 4, Grandma Harriett, Great Grandma Harp, Uncle Roger, Aunt Chrissy, Aiden, Olivia, Aunt Tami, Unlce Larry, Zach, Torrey, Millie, and Aunt Michelle.

The kids enjoyed swimming in the morning and the big guys had fun throwing water balloons at them (from the 2nd story window)!

Brad and I had planned ahead and bought brats, hot dogs, and hamburgers, as well as some side dishes so not much else had to be done that day. We left the grilling up to Roger while the ladies fixed up the rest (I took it easy....kind of).
After dinner we enjoyed some Lightening McQueen cake (thanks Uncle Roger & Aunt Chrissy!!) and then opened presents. Some of the party goers hadn't ever seen "Cars" so we turned that on to catch them up.




Carter had a great birthday and enjoyed playing with his cousins. It was nice to give him some of the attention since it could have easily been all about his little sister.
