We took Carter to the party store a few days ago so he could pick out a theme for his birthday. We never invite a lot of people, usually just family, but like to make it special none the less. So we went up the isle with all the themes. We showed them to him all and he chose......CARS!

We bought the movie for him about a month ago, so he could watch a movie in the car. He loves "Mater". I think he is his favorite. He was very excited about his theme. We picked up everything that we needed. Mike even decided that he wanted to make Carter's cake. His very own cake and we will make cupcakes for the guests. He plans on making a test cake to make sure he can do it. If not we will order one from the store. I give him lots of credit for trying and even if it doesn't turn out the way he expected I am still so proud of him. I don't think Carter will care either way. He is just more excited about having cake. We need to go through our stashed away gifts to see what we want to give him for his birthday and what we are putting aside for Christmas. See we tend to buy things that we see are on sale and things that we were planning on getting him and then just put them to the side. We bought two art tables at Target after Christmas and got them for just $5 a piece. One is a table and the other is an easel. So he will get one this year for either his birthday or Christmas and one next year. We wanted to get him a motorized car for his birthday, but may hold out and get it for both the boys for Christmas as a combined gift. We will see. I just can't believe my baby boy is going to be 3 soon.
