Happy Birthday, Evan!

I can hardly believe it, but my baby boy turned 14 Sunday! We actually started celebrating on Saturday. He wanted to go see the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie, so we headed to Silverspot to see it and eat movie snacks for dinner with Aunt Shannon and Nana. Then it was back to the house for his cookies and cream ice cream dessert request:
Nana gave him and apple watch, and Aunt Shannon came through with several super cool bands:
And he now actually gets himself up in the morning!

His actual birthday started with his requested NC Jelly donuts:

And plenty of decorations:

The best sister ever is designing his own candy box each month. She even designed her own shipping labels:
We gave him another Munch Box subscription now that his braces are off:
He spend the morning at the dojo before Bojangles for lunch, and then he spent the afternoon playing his video games undisturbed. He requested a cookies and cream cake for the actual day:

He was lamenting that smash cakes were not a thing for his first birthday, so we gave him permission to try it for his fourteenth:
He was not a fan of Oreo up his nose, but it was hysterical.

The only birthday hiccup was his dinner, which got postponed to Monday night when our grill decided to retire itself after 20 years. Five Guys made a great substitute, and we did the grilled Caesar salads on the new one last night:

We can't wait to play with this grill and its smoker box!
 

Evan declared it a perfect birthday, and I can't wait to see what this year has in store for him.
