Chris Anthony Carpenter turns 40 years old on November 22nd. For years I have been thinking about what would make this day really special for him. He told me over and over he did NOT want a big party. So, I organized a small party with a BIG surprise!
When we got to the Carpenters, they were all in camo awaiting the man of the hour....even the babies!(Mindy and Phil took the best picture of a true Redneck family!)
Rita and Leroy made a wonderful brisket and Kristen picked up the camo cake from Publix!
Then it was time for the BIG surprise. . . . 1st he opened pictures of he and Jeff, then a moose that was supposed to be an elk, and then a fake plane ticket to Colorado...put it all together. . . .
Next Fall, Chris gets to go on the elk hunt he has been planning for years! With every one's help, he'll get to take his trip BEFORE the kids get old and move away!
Harry seemed to be the center of our attention for quite a while!!!
But, then there was cake, pie and cobbler. . . . .
Happy birthday Chris. We love you
