Happy Birthday Carson!!! You are a whole hand now! Where on earth did the time go? I know I say that with every new birthday the kids have, but seriously, it seems like yesterday I held this little guy in my arms at the hospital. Now he is 5.
Carson celebrated his birthday in his preschool class the day before his birthday. Here is the cool hat his teacher made him.
Here are the minion cupcakes I made for his class. They were a big hit :)
The next morning was Carson's big day! His official birthday. Feb 7th. We like to say that 7 is Carson's lucky number. He was born at 7:30 pm on 2-7-07 weighing in at 7 lbs.
Carson had to wear his hat while opening his presents from mom and dad.
This year for Carsons birthday party he decided he wanted a Despicable Me party. I loved the idea of using minions through out the party. I decided to make his party a "drive in movie" and had the kids come and sit in cars that I made out of cardboard boxes to watch the movie.
I gave each kid 7 tickets that they were able to cash in and buy treats to eat while they watched the movie.
I made 10 cars. Each had a set of headlights, a steering wheel, and a personalized license plate that I forgot to take a picture of.

Growing up I had a pinata with every birthday party I had. So I decided to make Carson a minion pinata. Morgan drew the overalls for me.
I had a hard time watching all my hard work get beaten to pieces. he he
After the pinata it was time to open presents.
I love the look and Carson and Logan's face when Carson opened up a gift that had a dollar in it. lol
Aunt Kristy and Uncle Ty Ty got Carson some awesome Lego shoes! He had to try them on as soon as he opened them up to let us see how fast they make him run.
Making the minion cake was one of the easiest cakes I have made. I realized the trick to fondant is to buy it pre-made from Hobby Lobby and coloring it my self. I actually enjoyed making this cake.
Time to sing!
Happy 5th Birthday Carson! We love you so much!
