Carter had his "party" on Saturday but we still acknowledged his birthday today. After we ate dinner, I cut Carter a piece of cake and put his birthday candle on it and we sung Happy Birthday to him again. We also saved our presents for him so that he would have something to open on his birthday. We got him was a water "slip n slide" and a bubble mower. We knew he would have fun with the slide and he always pretends he is mowing the grass, like daddy. Here are a few pictures from "our birthday party".

Carter had a nice party today. He had it at one of those places that have the big moonwalks and it had a large 2 story victorian playhouse inside. The theme of his party was Spiderman. He had several friends come to the party and they all had a good time. His birthparents, his sister and two little brothers were there also. We were happy that they were able to come. I'm sure it will mean alot to Carter when he gets older and understands who they are. Here are some pictures from the party. You can view more pictures in the Family Photos/May 2008 album.

Tonight was the end of year program at the kids' preschool. Both Carter and Gail got to participate in it. Carter did alot better this time as far as singing and moving with the songs. Gail, on the other hand. just sat there and didn't do anything. She sat for most of the songs but the teacher had to keep her still and had to keep passing her snacks from her little ziploc bag to keep her happy. Oh well. What can you really expect from a child that young? Here are some pictures from the program. Sorry, they didn't turn out that great. You can view them larger in the Family Photos/May 2008 album.
