Bowling for Birthday Fun

Thankfully, Evan's birthday party with his friends was not snowed out (after a week where almost everything else had been canceled by the weather). We took Evan, Andrew, and 5 friends bowling, which was hilarious, exhausting fun.

The birthday festivities, Day 2

Since we continued to have snow on the ground, we continued not to have school. So the day after Evan's birthday we just continued to celebrate.

Wrapped in his birthday present Star Wars blanket/robe with his birthday present Lego Tie Fighter, which he made almost entirely by himself.

The awesome present from Grammy & Grampy arrived, and Evan spent hours minutely examining the carpet, hair, clothes, his brother's face ...

Andrew is determined not to be left out!

Two loved grandchildren and two loved grandparents!

Evan's "Totally Awesome!" Birthday

Evan's greatest dream came true when school was closed because of snow on his birthday. Grandma and PaPa were here, so it was a day packed with birthday celebration. Evan chose cheesy eggs and biscuits and gravy for his birthday breakfast, and lunch at Ole NC BBQ buffet. That afternoon my Aunt Georgie, who shares a birthday with Evan, came over with Martha, Denise, and Danielle.

Evan insisted that he wanted a carrot cake for his birthday. With carrots on top. Not balloons or anything festive. Just carrots. 

Evan gets pretty excited about presents. This is his volcano set.

Grandma and PaPa made sure Andrew got a little something special, too.
