Happy Birthday Carson!!

My handsome baby boy is now 3 years old. I can't believe it. This picture was taken at his birthday party Saturday. We had a small celebration on his birthday the 14th. Then we had a Diego "dirtday" party with his friends. He had so much fun. Everytime someone said happy birthday to him he would say it back to them. By the time his party rolled around he was very well versed in the birthday song and blowing out candles since he had two parties before the one with his friends. He got lots of fun toys and two very cute shirts. We have started a family tradition of having a doughnut cake on your actual birthday. Hubby and I might start another tradition of our own of having a celebration after the birthday child goes to sleep to celebrate that we made it another year.

Carson, we love you so much and are so happy that God chose us to be your parents. You are becoming such an amazing child and big brother. We can't wait to see how God will shape and mold you for His glory. We love you and are very excited about the boy we are seeing take shape in front of our eyes. You really are a blessing to us and Elli. Our prayer for you is that you let the Lord lead and guid you in all that you do. Love Him with all your heart just like we love you. We are very excited to see what the next year has in store for you.
Love You,
Mommy and Daddy

We are so going to start an "after hours celebration" on OurPadawans birthdays. That is great idea. I love how celebrate and build tradition. It is one of things I most admire about you. Happy BDay again Carson - don't give your floks too much grief in the 3s.
