Yo Ho Matteys Away... Carter's 4th Birthday is Today!

For Carter's 4th birthday, we weren't really planning on doing much.  We had decided to just have a cake at Family Dinner on Sunday until... Carter started telling our family, "I'm having a pirate party for my birthday and we are all going to dress up like pirates!".  So... we caved in and a pirate party was planned for our sweet little man!  He was so, so excited to help find pirate stuff for his party!  We let him pick out his cake (he requested his picture with Jake), the decorations, and even gave choices for pirate games! Our family came over along with our closest friends and MawMaw was able to come into town too!  Grammy and Susie won best costume (if we would have had awards!) and even had confetti guns they shot off the entire party... much to Joe's dislike!  The confetti was EVERYWHERE when they left!!  When the party was over, Carter came up to us and said, "Thank you so much Mommy and Daddy for my Pirate Party!  I loved it!".  That made it all worth it!     
 Our Pirate Family!
