my baby boy turns 5

We celebrated Carter's 5th birthday today! He invited a few friends to join us for some glow bowling, arcade games, pizza, and birthday cake. I didn't get a single picture of any kids bowling because it was pretty insane in the glow bowl room, but we had fun!! Carter is such a sweet, funny little boy. I love it when Graham calls Carter, "my Cahdar" and what a great big brother Carter is to Graham. I'm so lucky to be his mom!

Playing air hockey in the arcade with dad.

Graham was such a Skeeball cheater.

Carter requested and R2D2 cake. I found a 1980 pan on ebay (and now I'll resell it!).

I didn't mean to, but I accidentally put candles that keep relighting on his cake. He blew and blew and even had help from friends. I finally stuck them in a cup of Sprite to put them out.

Getting help opening presents.
