Four More Years

We followed up Uncle Skyler's wedding with a quick trip down to North Carolina for more family fun.  Other than Kari's extended battle with a stomach bug, which left her quarantined in a hotel room for a couple days, while the rest of us struggled to have family fun without her, we had a great time.  Unfortunately, there is little evidence of said fun, but it happened, I swear.

While we were there we celebrated Carter's fourth birthday.  Special thanks to Grandma Lucy for helping us have a wonderful birthday celebration by, among many things, making sure we had a delicious and colorful birthday cake and getting Carter his birthday hat (pictured below).  The hat was basically the birthday version of the Harry Potter sorting hat.  It would sing happy birthday and move on his head.  Carter loved it, but it did not make it out of North Carolina.  Not surprisingly, Carter celebrated his birthday topless.  We've made it through four years of our very busy boy, and despite his insanity, I think we'll keep him for at least a few more.
