Monkey Party!

[My friend Dana, who is 38 weeks pregnant!, made this cute little invite for us. Thank you again!]
Carter finally got to have his birthday party yesterday! We wanted to wait until Landon and my parents were back from Washington so we could all celebrate together. So we did just that! It was also a little party for Evie who just turned one! I had so much fun decorating for this party-mostly with stuff I already had. We had hoggie sandwiches with sides, opened presents, and ate cupcakes and icecream. A perfect party!
We were so happy to be able to celebrate Carter's birthday as a family! Chris didn't get to stay the whole time but was there while we were setting up for a bit.
For our little monkey!
I think one of the highlights of his party was that fact that his big brother was finally home. When they first saw eachother, they hugged for what seemed like a minute straight. It was really cute.

Carter and his Pa'Pa who is follows around like a little puppy!
Evie is one! We were finally able to give her the pig pillow pet we picked out months ago-she really liked it :)
Uncle Travis and the birthday girl!
Opening presents!
Thomas book from Grandma and Grandpa Wagner. Pa'Pa recorded his voice reading him the book so when he is far away, he can still read a story to him!
Others fun presents he received was new Nike shoes and shirt from Uncle Travis, side walk chalk and money for his bank from the Taks, and a ride on bike from the Wagner grandparents, a Thomas boat for the bath from his big brother, and of course, the train table. Grandma brought his SUPER cool Seattle Sounders jersey and matching ball from Washington that everyone couldnt wait for him to wear :)
Another Thomas book from the Wagners. My mom actually HAD to buy this buy this one because Carter picked it out and ripped it at the store haha
Great Grandma and Grandpa Mayne gave Carter a Elmo book that has a timer on it that helps him get ready for bed along with a new Elmo hand towel and jammies!

Carter isn't really into cake but really likes dipping things so he shared with Travis, dipping his gumball into the frosting. Evie shared too :)

Here is Carter with his new bike that he got a few weeks BEFORE his actual birthday.. What a lucky boy! Hope you had fun at your party little monkey!!!!
