Carter's Birthday

Carter turned 7 yesterday.  He celebrated at school with cupcakes in his classroom, with our family last night, and with his friends today.  Lucky kiddo to get 3 celebrations! :)

I set out his gifts when he was in school.  He finally got to open the Lego set Kyle put together for him a couple of months ago!  He LOVED it!

Grandma, Grandpa, and I were the "mystery" guest readers in Carter's classroom at the end of the school day.  He was so surprised and excited to see us, especially his buddy, Grandpa!

Grandma, Grandpa, and the birthday boy.  We received a beach ball that his teacher had printed on the side: "We had a 'ball' listening to you read.  Thank you!" and each of the students in his class had signed.  Cute idea!  :)

All of the guest readers:

Carter with his stash after school.  He was so excited to see the Lego City Police Station and Minecraft tools.  After school, we went to our favorite ice cream place, Big Dipper.  Ryan had a soccer game and following that, we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner.  Carter received a birthday crown and held up a strobe light while the restaurant sang happy birthday to him.  :)
