It's Carson's birthday!!  He requested scrambled eggs for his breakfast, so we decided to sing and blow out a candle, too!  (I had no idea that hot eggs would melt the candle!)

 

I think this candle and egg thing might be a new (though, non vegan) tradition!

 

Hope he made a wish!

 

In honor of the birthday extravaganza, the kids were allowed to have juice with breakfast!  Such the splurge!

 

After school, Carson began the series of skype calls from his birthday well wishers.  Little did he know that Uncle Tim was part of the "birthday surprise" that we've been talking about!

 

Uncle Tim let Carson know that he will be coming from California in a few weeks to watch the Star Wars series with Carson. 

Clearly, Carson was thrilled, and I loved watching Uncle Tim get a kick out of Carson's reaction.  It was another reminder that I'm blessed with a great son and a great big bro!

 

Finally, it was time for a celebratory meal at .T.G.I.Friday's.  (Will never go back, but that's another topic for another day.)  Carson got to open the present from the family.

 

Wait, is that ketchup?

 

Not only is it ketchup, it's the dip & squeeze ketchup packets that were introduced shortly before we moved.  Carson is a huge fan.
