Our little man turned one on April 7, 2012.  I had mixed emotions about it.  I was happy because God had blessed us with this little guy for an entire year and we had SURVIVED parenthood for 365 days.  I was sad because now Carter was no longer a baby... he is now in the "Toddler" category :( :( :(
But the happiness outweighed the sadness and we were ready to partaaaay!
I have become insanely addicted to 
Pinterest and Etsy and through my many months of planning and searching both of those sites, I found our theme.... The Very Hungry Caterpillar!!!!
