Carson's Birthday Festivities

We had a fun-filled weekend planned for Carson's 2nd birthday. On Friday, August 7th, his actual birthday, we started the day making pancakes. The video I took of him is posted in the previous blog entry. For lunch, I took Carson to a pizza place in Benson called R&R Pizza. They have a buffet and games for the kids to play. Plus, Carson loves the train they have running on a track on ceiling. I took a few pictures of Carson driving all by himself on one of the video games. We also won a ball in one of the machines on our first try, which he was pretty stoked about. Once Jason got home, we ate a yummy dinner I cooked, opened cards and presents from Jason and I and other family and then had a little cake. The big cake was for his party the next day, but you have to have cake on your actual birthday too {in my personal opinion! =)}! I didn't realize he had dirtied his shirt so much during dinner, so I apologize for his messy shirt in some of the pictures! Carson loved all the toys and cards he received and had a great time opening his presents, so thank you all who sent something!

The next morning was super busy getting ready for Carson's construction-themed birthday party! The party was from 2:30-4:30, but lasted a little longer, as parties usually do. Carson was fortunate enough to have so many friends to help him celebrate, including: Logan, Jacob, Harris, Aaron, Katie, Baby Sophia, Micheal, Baby Jake, DJ, Teddy, Chloe, and Mason. I bought play construction hats for the kids to wear and had stickers and letters so they could put their names on their own hats to take home with them. I also had a bunch of building toys, play tools, construction trucks and a sandbox, not to mention Carson's new playset to entertain the kids. The kids had fun knocking down a construction truck pinata filled with candy, and I was really proud of the construction-themed cake. Carson could not wait for the cake! I kept catching him trying to climb on the table to get a taste. He was so happy when it was finally cake time. =) Carson wants to thank everyone who came out to celebrate and play with him, and for making his day so special. He had a wonderful time and loves all the cool new toys he received! Also a special thank you to my friend, Diana, who took a majority of the party pictures! She did a fantastic job! Also another special thanks to Jason, Dan and David for getting Carson's new playset up in time for the party - you guys rock!
