Carson turned 5 last weekend. His birthday has always been interesting to plan because the date is so close to Valentine's day and a long weekend. Last year Carson's party was when we were in Tuscon with family. This year we decided to invite a few of Carson's friends. I didn't plan any games, just invited friends with kids in Carson's class, and they also had older kids in Colten's class too! The kids played up stairs, adults ate snacks, we opened presents and ate gooey cake. Carson is really into Batman now so that was the theme for the party, and he loved helping decorate for it. Opening presents showed it was a "Cars" party as well. Here's a Carson-ism for you: Carson thought that he would be able to start kindergarten once he was five. He was really disappointed when we told him he had to wait to start kindergarten in September.

The awesome cake my mom made. Carson chose chocolate (of course) with Neapolitan ice cream.
It took three tries, but he got all the candles blown out.

The day after the party was Carson's special day at pre-school, and also their Valentine's day party. Carson and my mom made these cute pirate cake pops to share at school.
