Even after suffering several long days (and nights) with a fever and horrible cough, Carter was all smiles for his birthday party this afternoon!
We had a small family gathering to celebrate our little guy's 2nd birthday. We ended up not going with any particular theme, as Carter can be a little fickle. One day he's all about Pooh. The next, it's Mickey Mouse. That night, the Little Einsteins. I could just envision him throwing his cake on the floor because it was Elmo rather than Agent Oso. So...I had a little of everything. :)
My favorite (and Carter's as well) was this kid-sized Pooh balloon.
His allergy-free cake. 
And for the rest of us, the oh so yummy cupcakes from Dreamcakes in Edgewood. Half were Wedding Cake...
And the other half, Red Velvet. They are amazing! (And yes, we felt a teeny bit guilty for eating these in front of Carter.)
But as you can see, he didn't really care what anyone else was eating. In fact, when someone asked if they could have a bite of his cake, he said, "No!" That fist in the cake was there to hold onto to it so it couldn't be taken away. :)

We had a rough start to the party. Carter spent the first 20 minutes in time out at the fridge. Toddlers....so unpredictable. Or maybe they ARE predictable.
Carter wasn't sure what he thought of the birthday hats.
But he sure loved his gifts. After opening a gift, he'd say, "More presents? More presents?" Can you tell he's the first grandchild on both sides?
Aunt JuJu even got him a bottle of his favorite food EVER. You name the food, he dips it in ketchup. Fries, grapes, bananas, marshmallows.... yes, seriously.
Does anyone remember this clock from our childhood? Fisher Price is recreating some of the toys from our days, and I loved hearing the wind up music from this classic clock rather than digitized melodies.
Grand Mary and Papa
Gram Me and Aunt JuJu
Aunt Coco and Uncle Ivan
GrandDad and Aunt JuJu
(Carter missed his Uncle Stuart and Aunt Noelle and can't wait to see them soon!)
A fun fun day! Now, just where shall we put all these toys?

Precious!! It so reminds me of my oldest's first parties...with the allergy-free cake!!! The good news is...he grew out of all of it!! You are going to think I am such a weirdo or it is just a really small world but your sister's husband looks soo familiar. I think I might have gone to Troy State with him...anyway, thanks for sharing such sweet pics! Jennifer
Hello new camera! Great pics - just love the one of Carter looking at his candle, so sweet.
Nicely done, Superwoman! Can't believe these babies are TWO!
Such a cute party. And I LOVE the wedding cake cupcakes from Dreamcakes. So, so good.
