Carter's Big Boy Birthday Party!








Carter turned the big 3 on August 20th!  The whole year I knew he would love a heavy equipment construction themed party.  He is obsessed with dump trucks, backhoes, track hoes, etc.  Grandpa Larry has both a dump truck and a back hoe.  Carter gets so happy when he gets to ride in one of those.  This year Carter was especially deserving of a fun b-day bash because he earned it!  We had been struggling with potty training...to say the least.  Then some helpful advice from a friend about using food coloring in the toilet at potty time helped get him interested in the whole process.  And then to really hook him in I told him that he couldn't have a "big boy birthday party" until he knew how to go potty!  So with about a month ahead until his b-day he got on the potty training bandwagon.  He must have finally been ready because he really understood it all.  He was pretty much trained within 2 weeks!  My easiest yet!  I am so proud of him!  Therefore he was totally deserving of this party.  And Carter's birthday is only 2 days before Nana Connie's.  She was having a big one this year!   I along with a ton of help from my sister-in-law Nicole, made this Hello Kitty cake.  I wanted to do something cute and fun and she has always liked Hello Kitty....and she is really a little girl at heart!  They both enjoyed sharing a special party day together!
