Fistfuls of Cake

ONE!

We spent Carter's birthday weekend at the River - there was much rejoicing:

A few nice hikes in his backpack (just like Aunt Jenn of old!)

He's big enough to practice driving the Old Town

Dock time aaannndd....

More dock time!

The poor little guy still has little splinters all up and down his legs and feet, but they didn't stop him from crawling laps and laps on the dock.  He's a salty little dude.  :)

His birthday celebration came around and the whole Dundon/Jordan side of the family gathered 'round for ...

Cake!

Presents!

The pinnacle of the day!

Nom nom nom nom nom

This is some gooooooood stuff!

He liked the cake part a lot.  Probably more than the presents part.  But he did have a good time with the rest of the family over the course of the weekend:

Hanging with Grammy and Dondie 

Granddad was the new favorite of the weekend

All in all, we had a great time.  Carter even got to eat some of Grandad's spaghetti and meatballs - the same meal that ushered Carter into the world a year ago!  (At least there was no garlic bread this time!)

I think Carter's teething again, and he was a little fussy over the weekend, but he didn't let that stop him from partying!  He was a sweetheart the whole weekend and cheerfully got passed around to the whole family - Aunt Sarah, Grammy, Gram, and Aunt Jenn especially spent a ton of time with him!  Thanks ladies!  Brian and I took the opportunity to do a little running and kayaking on our own.  Special thanks to Sarah and Jenn for taking some awesome pics during the party!

Happy Birthday Carter!
