Carlton's Three!

To celebrate Carlton turning three, we had a 'car' birthday party on Saturday, the 17th.

 

The birthday boy.

Lots of sweet friends and family joined us to celebrate him and to, of course, play cars.

The cake was a big deal to Carlton this year.  He had requested multiple times in advance that he would like a brown, chocolate cake.  Double descriptors to get his point across, I suppose, and ensure that Mommy would get the idea.  I think I got the idea.

In a moment of foresight, we designated the back porch as the cake-eating spot for all the kids.

Carlton LOVED his birthday cake :)

And gift time.

Doing a new car puzzle with Aunt Kristin.

And opening his big gift this year, a real bike!
