We thought we would be spending our birthdays in France...but Ryan had business in KC and we tagged along!!! It was a wonderful surprise and a much needed trip home. We were there for a full two weeks. We got to spend lots of time with our families and were able to make it to our friends wedding! The trip couldn't have come at a better time! First we headed down to Mt. Vernon where Carson had his first family party. Grandma Laurie invited everyone over for dinner and cake! Carson opened presents, ate cake and ran wild outside. The next day we went to Springfield with Grandma to play at incredible pizza! Carson played lots of games and rode lots of rides. It was a hit! On our way home to stopped at Bass Pro to take a look around and Carson tried out a 4 wheeler for size. He still has a few years or if his Mother has a say in it an eternity till he's old enough to ride one! Next Carson headed to St. Louis to stay a few days with Nana and Papa so Ryan and I could spend my birthday at our friend's wedding! We had an awesome time and I couldn't have asked for a better birthday! While on his mini vacation he went to the transportation museum, the zoo and to the pool. On Monday I went down to St. Louis to spend a few days with everyone while Ryan worked in KC. We had another small family party with more presents and more fun! While we were there we went to the Magic house and took Carson to see his very first movie...UP! He loved it and did a great job sitting in the movie. We had such a great time with our families and friends that we didn't want to come home! Good thing we'll be headed back to KC on July 11th for more summer fun!!! We got back to Paris on June 14th, Carson's actual birthday. We spent the day unpacking and trying to get over the jet lag. On Tuesday Carson had his final birthday party at school with his friends. We took a Spiderman cake to share for snack and everyone sang happy birthday to Carson for the last time in 2009! I feel like we've had a month of celebrating Carson turning 3!
Here are some pictures from our trip home and the birthday boy!
