Everett Turns 8

We sure know how to drag out birthdays in this family! We have celebrated Everett turning 8 this entire past week. First a visit from Noni. We went to Discovery Place in Charlotte, which is a children's museum. We also had a little birthday party, complete with presents and colorful cupcakes. A good time was had by all! Then Gigi came for a visit. We went to the Nature Center on Sunday and then ate dinner at Everett's favorite restaurant, Iannucci's Pizza last night. We also grilled hotdogs and ate al fresco on the evening of his actual birthday. Many of Everett's gifts this year revolved around his love of Minecraft. He was one happy boy. From Eric and I, he received a stuff polar bear (it is what he asked for) and a ukulele. Eric also got one for himself so that he would be able to instruct Everett and provide lessons. He has had a joyful week!
