Carsen's 1st Birthday!

Carsen's birthday was August 10th but we spread it out over a few days. It was so much fun! On the Saturday before his birthday(aug 7th) we had a part for him with both our families. We found out 2 days before that my brother, sis in law and their kids were coming into town from Colorado that weekend and they were going to be there for Carsen's party! We were so excited to have all of our family there to celebrate with us! We love you all!!

Planning his party was so fun, even though I forgot about ice cream! who does that? ha ha oh well! We had the party at Carsen's Grandma and Grandpa T's house. Thanks so much! It was perfect!!
The cakes were AWESOME! Carsen's Grandma B made him the traditional Carousel cake that they always make for the 1st birthday. He loved it. Thanks!!

I love to have a theme to a party, so we made it a PLAYSKOOL party! He absolutely loves his playskool toys (Ball popper, little ball snail, ball spinner....and anything to do with a ball!! )
We had all a really great dinner!! Thanks to everyone who made the effort to come and brought food and helped make the party awesome!! We used all the bright colors that playskool has and we had a fun pinata! Carsen has 10 cousins and all but one of them are older than he is, so we thought it would be fun to have something fun that they would like too! Carsen loves all of his cousins. He loves to watch them run around and I'm sure it will not be to much longer until he is doing that as well. We wiss we got to be around them all more! He was also so happy to see his Buddy Brecklyn! We miss you guys! We all had lots of fun and I am so happy that the weather got better just in time!! :)

We played and hung out with family all weekend and then on his actual birthday we were back up in Logan and Brecklyn and Tiff came to play for the day and Daddy took part of the day off to play. Then we had a little friends birthday party over at the church bowery. It was so much fun to have all the little kiddos there and all our friends! Thanks to everyone who made it such a fun time!
Carsen loves all his gifts! Thank you all!!
Happy Birthday Buddy! love, Mommy and Daddy
