Happy 5th Birthday Carson!!

What a day is all I can say!!! Carson's birthday morning started with him smiling ear to ear when we came in to sing him Happy Birthday! He was so excited to open his presents. He was very excited about the gift cards he got from Nana and doesn't want to spend them now because he just wants to keep the cards! Thanks Nana and Gramps!
So we had a pool party planned for Carson and the weather had other plans! Talk about extreme weather. It was sunny and great when I went out to set up for the party and then an hour later it was pouring rain, hailing everything! My shade tent blew away and got a little mangled, everything got totally wet and up until 5 minutes before the party it was raining and raining and I was starting to wonder what I was going to do with 25 kids INSIDE my house! Yes, you heard that right, 25 kids!! What can I say, this is my social child who has to invite everyone to his party. So I threw some blankets down in my family room, popped some popcorn and put in a movie to have a little "theatre experience" to wait for what the weather was going to do. After all the kids arrived the sun came out and it was great weather again so we hurried out to swim and enjoy it! It lasted until just before the party ended and then we had rain and hail again, so we were very lucky to get the good weather that we did. Despite how many kids there were, they all had a great time and I think the party was a success! Special thanks to Mindy and Heidi for all their help, I would not have survived with you guys!! Here are some pictures including Carson's loot. I think he was pretty spoiled with all the presents he got and he is in motorcycle heaven! I think he got like 9 of them! Thanks to everyone who came and made it such a fun special day for him!

Oh, what terrible weather. I'm glad it shinned for the party. I can't believe you had 25 kids! You're way more ambitious than I would ever be. It's looks like a really fun day.
