Another Birthday

Yesterday we celebrated Carter's 11th birthday. Can it really be that he is 11 already?! Each year I see so much progress in him and am so thankful for all he has accomplished! He has come a long way!

We met up with family in the evening for dinner. Carter wanted to go to the Elephant Bar...same place he picked two years ago. I'm not sure what it is about that place that he likes, but for some reason he finds it fun. We sat outside on the patio (thankful for the heaters) and had a great time visiting with family!

Each year I look forward to hearing what is on Carter's birthday wish list. Two years ago he asked for a foam finger and his cake to be the American flag. Last year it was the electric toothbrush which he was so happy to get. This year....he wanted the eight ball. The one you ask a question and then shake it to see the answer appear in the little window. (He's been watching Toy Story a lot lately and that is where that idea came from.) So, he got an eight ball. I have been cracking up over the questions he asks...such as.....Will I have 5 kids? (not sure what made him think to ask that) Should I scratch my belly? Should I take a bath? (YES) Will I have homework today? And the list goes on!

I've said it before, but I love the fact that Carter thinks outside the box! He truly makes us laugh! We love him dearly and thank the Lord for each year we get to celebrate with him!

What will he ask for next year??

Pictures will be posted soon.
