Carter's 9th Birthday!

Carter is my quiet thinker.  He loves to do puzzles and build with legos, so much so that Ben always has him do his lego building for him.  He is also very kind hearted and tries to look out for his little sisters and brother. 

He is also becoming a good piano player.  He loves to try and play his pieces of music as fast has he can without mistakes.  It is fun to watch his fingers fly across the keys with his head bopping to the beat all at top speed.

For his birthday this year, he decided to have chocolate cupcakes.  He helped me make them and then he put the sprinkles on and stacked them all by himself. 

We had Grandma Mary and Will and Jeannie over for our little family party.  Carter got a watch, a knife, legos, a book: "Summer of the Monkeys," a book filled with puzzles, two puzzles, and a snap circuit set.  Do we notice the puzzle theme here.
