PARTY!

On Everett's real birthday, we went to have his picture taken and had lunch at Red Robin (Everett got to have "real" mac and cheese off the kids menu). It wasn't what we'd planned to do, but the day kind of evolved after our disastrous photo shoot. On Sunday, we had a party with our Arizona family. It was brunch so we feasted on waffles, bacon, eggs, sausage, and fruit and of course, birthday cake. Everett really enjoyed everyone singing to him, but the boy who puts EVERYTHING in his mouth would not eat his cake! Once I showed him it was good ("Hmmm, what is this sweet tasting stuff and where's it been all my life?"), he gobbled it up.

He didn't open his own gifts, but at least stayed in the same room as I did it.

We had a fantastic day and were so happy to spend it with our wonderful friends.
