Choo Choo: 1st Birthday Party!

Yesterday, we hosted about 35 of our friends and family in our little house to celebrate Cartman's first birthday. It was exhausting and took a LOT of work, but we had a blast with everyone and had so much fun celebrating the first year! And now, a LOT of pictures. :) We had a great day and are so appreciative of everyone driving out to the burbs to spend it with us!

First, the decorations and FOOD!

This was a banner of all Carter's monthly pictures! Loved this idea from a blog!
