BEAR is 3!

It feels like we've been celebrating Carter's 3rd birthday for the entire month of April and it's been fantastic! Several weeks before his big day, I asked Carter what kind of cake he'd like to have.  I thought he would request chocolate, but instead he replied, "I want a Mickey cake!".  And so the theme was set for birthday #3.  

The preparations began with construction paper creations and baking cupcakes for preschool:

Next was his preschool celebration with friends and his much anticipated Mickey cupcakes!

It wasn't until the next day however that it was actually his birthday!  We woke up and opened a few presents including his favorite--a personalized super hero cape.  That was followed by breakfast with our very best buddies and then a couple more presents.  Nap time was a little tough, but we made it happen before taking a special trip to Carter's favorite- The Disney Store!  Lastly we returned home to hurry through dinner so we could dig into THE Mickey Cake.  

Carter was patient enough to work around mommy's schedule for his birthday party which had to wait until this weekend.  Fortunately because we did wait, the weather was warmer (hooray!) so we could play outside.  We had friends and family over for a bbq, bouncing in the bouncy house, and yes of course, more cake!

Carter. is. the. best!  We love him so much and we can't believe birthday #3 has come and gone (that's probably why we celebrated for weeks!)  He's such a treat to have in our family and we can't wait to see where another year will take him.  Happy Birthday Bear Bear!! We love you!
