Carter turned 5--on December 10th!

I swear I remember posting about Carter's birthday--but it must of been a dream, because I haven't. It wasn't his year for a friend party, but I am getting lax in my old age and he was able to invite some friends over for "lunch" on his birthday, but since I didn't do treat bags it wasn't a "party" right?! When Jackson and Tanner Christensen (our other son) were little guys and played, it was nothing but sports, they would fight over who was Jeremy Scroggins or Michael Jordan (how does that make Jeremy feel!!) they would usually play, basketball, football and baseball all in one play date. But when Carter and his buddies play it is one superhero dress up after another. Epic star wars battles are fought and Iron Man and Spiderman are searching for Darth Vader and Black Spiderman. But the greatest part is they are so busy trading costumes and describing the "scenes" ahead they usually never get to that part!! Carter has great buddies and I am so glad.

Then for his birthday dinner we had the whole fam-dam-ily over for Carter's requested feast....Chicken on the bone and Crabby Patties (hamburgers) he also wanted Crab but I told him the store was out, I just couldn't face that seafood, poultry, beef mix all in one meal!
Carter at age 5 you can, make your bed, pick up your messes, write your first name and most of your last name it usually comes out Nofterel (why make it harder son?), you love preschool days and beg everyday to have a friend over. You love the color green but since you love Caden more, you have changed your favorite color to red! You want to be a superhero when you grow up, just not sure which one. Your favorite songs are "Iron Man" which you sing wrong; "I am iron man running over bad guys in my van!", and "Once there was a Snowman". You are so excited to be a big kid in Kindergarten next year and have school every day. You still get in bed with Mom and Dad every night(sigh). You scratch my arm to fall asleep and you don't allow us to kiss you, if we do you immediately wipe it off! Jackson and Sammi can always get you 'going' by telling you they snuck in your room and kissed you while you were asleep. You are so funny and so "boy" and we love you so much, thanks for making the worst pregnancy ever--worth every second of it!
