Day 411-414: So much celebrating!

We have been celebrating a certain someone's twelfth birthday since last Thursday:

Although his actual birthday was Friday, Issa couldn't wait to give him her gift, so that started the celebrating on Thursday:

She chose to pre-order a book for him and then gave him this huge camp knife. In addition to being a good survival blade, it has a fire starter in the sheath. He is very anxious to try it out!

For his actual birthday, he wanted a lazy day to play his games and do little else. His big request, though, was a mac and cheese cake for lunch

I'm thrilled with the way it came out, although the candle in the gooey pasta were a little hazardous:

Nana and Aunt Shannon came over for dinner and a few more gifts, including a model car and some great t-shirts:

Evan requested Pasta alla Dad for dinner, and no dessert, so we had to put a candle in his bowl of pasta:

We did end up going to Whitt's for ice cream, too!

Evan said it was the perfect sloth day, and we are looking forward to finishing the celebration when we take him to see Dude Perfect in September.
