Carson turns 5 ~ Nov. 1, 2011

 Carson turned 5 back on Nov. 1.  On Carson's birthday he took some cupcakes to school to share with his classmates.  We also had cupcakes here at home after supper and he opened a gift from Andrew and a gift from Chad and I.

 Andrew picked out this Dagedar set for Carson.  They are these balls that are supposed to race and jump on these tracks.  But unfortunately they do not work very well at all.  Maybe the set we got was a dud, but I wouldn't recommend purchasing a set.  Andrew felt really badly about his gift but we assured him that he thought he was picking out something really cool (of course it looks really cool on TV!) and that Carson would enjoy.  It was not his fault that the toy didn't work very well.
 We got Carson this T Rex from Imaginext.  Carson was really into looking at toy magazines or watching toy commercials and declaring that he wanted something, really EVERYTHING he saw.
