Brad may have been in Canada the end of last week and most of the weekend, but that did not stop the birthday celebrating from slowing down! Aunt Shannon actually came into town with the whole purpose of celebrating the big two full-handed birthday. The kids and Nana picked her up Friday, but the celebration began with a Jersey Mike's lunch after the dojo Saturday where this shockingly awesome selfie happened:
Then just Aunt Shannon and the kiddos went to the bowling alley and arcade, where Aunt Shannon defeated claw machine to win Evan this dog, which he appropriately named Special:
This picture just makes me happy:
After bowling it was back to Nana's house for presents:
Aunt Shannon made a scavenger hunt for Evan to find his packages this year:
And then he reluctantly agreed to a fashion show:
This is is his Hulk face for his Avengers shirt:
And big man listening to his crazy mother:
And being mortified by his crazy mother:
His shirt had flaming marshmallows, and we were trying to convince him to be the marshmallow while I was the flame:
Tough ninja:
He chose Nana mac and brussel sprouts before cake:
He requested a cookies and cream cake:
And he even consented to a picture:
But the highlight was everyone's excitement when the checkerboard inside turned out so well:
These faces make me happy.
Sunday, we had a birthday lunch at Kanki, and Brad came into town in time to make Shannon laugh until she cried. I can't even remember what he said--twice--but I love seeing my sister laugh that hard.
It was a great weekend, and a much needed respite in the midst of a very bizarre week. (More on that tomorrow...)
