Carter's Birthday, Part 2

Once we picked Cristian up from school and got home, I let the kids give their presents to Carter since he had been patiently waiting to open his gifts. Here is Cristian giving him the present he got Carter.
A Cars 2 collectors set, and a Cars 2 book
Ava giving Carter the gift she picked out
Moon Dough, the messiest stuff ever! Ava got some moon sand for her birthday earlier this year, and Carter LOVED playing with it with her every time she got it out. So she thought he'd want his own :)
Once Kyle, my parents and sister all arrived at our house, we let Carter open the present we'd all been dying to watch him open. A brand new Ya Ya. Huge smile = Huge hit!
I can't believe I found the exact same lamb online for him! Here is new Ya Ya, with old Ya Ya. You can see Ya ya has been well loved. He carries him all through the house all day long, and he goes every where with Carter. New Ya Ya will always stay at our house, that way if something ever happened to his beloved little lamb, we'd have a back up.
Then we all ate the dinner of his choice... spaghetti and salad. He ate all the kalamata olives off his salad first :)
Then we sang happy birthday and watched him blow out his 3 candles. He wanted cupcakes instead of a cake.

Then it was back to more present opening. Cookie Monster Math Wii game and some clothes
Mickey Mouse guitar
A Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Firetruck, driven by Donald Duck
He looks JUST like his brother in this picture... when Cristian was 3 years old :)

Still can't believe he's 3. . . Time Flies! Happy Birthday Carter. We love you!
