Party Time in Ohio

The weekend of March 20th was a crazy weekend filled with parties, family, friends, and drinking! Haha! Carter's first party was at Scott's parents house on Saturday, March 20th. We had about 30 people at this party. Quick and to the point, here are some pictures from that party.

I made Carter's birthday banner. Just something that we'll be able to use for many years to come.

I also made the monthday collage hanging above the fireplace. It's a neat way for people who don't see Carter often, to see his progress in growth over the last year.

He was so, so tired! I couldn't resist such a cute picture!

Sunday, the 21st, we had a party for family and friends on my side. We had it at my parents house and we had 25 people there. Carter was rather fussy most of the time. Maybe it was the shots he had the Thursday prior or being passed around person to person or the lack of nap time. Who knows! Overall, it was a great party and it was so nice to see all my family and close friends together!!

When I was little like Carter, my parents put me in the grass and I did the same thing that Carter is doing. This is the exact reason I kept shooting pictures...I thought it was great! I wish I had a copy of the picture of me sitting in a cute purple and white gingham dress in the grass crying with my hands held up high. Priceless!

All Carter's loot!

Thanks to everyone who came and helped us celebrate Carter's first wonderful year of life. He's been the best baby EVER and it's all because of our fantastic family and friends. I can't wait for Carter's second year of life. I hope it's as fun and filled with adventure as his first!!

I love you Carter!
