On August 11 we celebrated Carson’s first birthday. Yay, Carson!

He loved his cake. It was pretty much the first sweet thing Carson’s eaten in his life, so no surprise there. :) He had angel food cake, strawberries, and whipped cream.

This is Josh, Carson, and me on the big day, after the party.

My sister Brenn (who was visiting that week; so fun to see you, Brenn!) helped me make this sign. It was funny because I left out the “h” originally and neither of us noticed until it was finished. But then I said, “No, I have to fix this! I’m going to reuse it next year!” so we added the “h” in with some fancy cut-and-paste. ;-) Carson did enjoy looking at his sign and pointing to it excitedly all day.

And Carson with all his presents. What a spoiled boy. ;) But seriously grandparents on both sides, thank you so much for making Carson’s birthday special! Though none of these pictures show it (sorry for the bad photo journaling!), the Lymans were actually there for the party and we all had a blast. Thanks for coming, Lymans! And happy birthday, Carson!
