So, honestly, we should have just bought wrapping paper and balloons and called it good. Carson was so excited when he woke up from his nap and there was a room full of balloons just for him. We went to dinner at Rumbi's because he usually loves the rice bowls there. Well, he just wanted to run around saying HI to people and point out all the ceiling fans. At least Rob and I enjoyed his birthday dinner.
After dinner we had some family over for ice cream and cake. He loved his digger cake and had to poke his finger in every wave of frosting, afterwhich he would offer Papa Jones a lick too. So generous. He was so busy with his first few gifts that we stashed the rest for Christmas. Nobody wil notice that a few dusty presents are wrapped in blue and orange, right?
I'm not sure how much of a bargain it is to wait outside in line for 30 minutes to save $6, but apparantly I'm not the only one who thought that was a good idea. Despite the wait in the hot sun, we had a good time with Rochelle and her girls and my mom. I have definitely decided to buy a harness or leash or something to help keep track of Carson!
It's hard to believe we've been married for four years on March 6th and a lot has changed. Actually, there's very little that hasn't changed. The most obvious change from this picture is the hair. Rob had some and mine is not up in a wet bun! Another thing different about this picture is the lack of dark circles that are everpresent under our eyes now. I joke, but we are grateful for every wrinkle, every inch of cellulite, and every gray hair because Carson came with them! So, here's to many more great years and hopefully not this much bodily damage with each child :)
