Carter's Birthday!

We have officially have become those people. Who throw their dog a birthday party. But really, I have no shame and Carter has been our training wheel child. We had some family as well as Natalie and Claude over for a small cookout to celebrate him turning one!

Carter's birthday banner - I made it from PowerPoint

I also made party hats off Power Point and attached them to pictures of Carter each month.

He was not feeling the party hat as you can see it sliding down the side of his body.

The cutest birthday cake from Gourmutt's Bakery  in North Raleigh.

Natalie brought her new pup Murray over to meet Carter and celebrate. They are fast friends!

The only way we could get them to keep the hats on was holding them down.

Mamma, I love birthday cake!

Sarah and Zack's Luau

One of my best friends Sarah and her fiance Zack, celebrated their engagement Saturday night in Charlotte. Her sister and mom pulled off a gorgeous party. We are thrilled to be celebrating their wedding in late September. One of the bride and groom's friends had the party held at her parent's beautiful home in Myers Park.

Zack's Dad brought this cut out - love this shot of them!
