Carter's Birthday Party(ies)

Party preparation - this is one of the few times that I cook each year

Mini cheesecakes - those are bats by the way - "just pretend" as Carter would say

Goody bags - we made them ourselves!!

Y'all wouldn't believe how long it took us to figure out how to arrange the tables & chairs.  We moved them around at least 20 times.  We decided to do away with the adult eating table and it worked out great

Considering there were over 20 kids, they were all so well behaved.  It was not as wild and chaotic as I had expected.

Every mother's nightmare:  black icing!!  Luckily, that's everybody's favorite part so not much ended up on the floor.  We did all have blue tongue and lips though

Thank you to all our friends for coming and for all the wonderful gifts
