Happy Birthday Dad and Jason!

It was a busy birthday weekend - Dad Carter and Jason share the same birthday (April 19th) so we celebrated that night with our 4th Annual Benihana Birthday Bash! Earlier in the weekend, Jason and I went to the 755 Club at Turner Field on Friday night to watch the Braves crush the Dodgers. Will and Megan did a great job babysitting Harrison, and it was nice to be out just the two of us for once. And it's probably the last time for a long time! On Saturday afternoon we attended Sara Almstedt's fundraiser for her 60 mile breast cancer walk - "Bowling for Boobies"! It was a Wii party, and everyone contributed money to enter a Wii bowling contest. Jason made the Final Four and ended up in third place overall, woo hoo! Good luck to Sara with raising the rest of her funds, and with the walk itself!

On to Benihana's.......here's the Carter family starting off the evening with a few cocktails. Caitlin and I even imbibed some virgin mango daquiris.


The chef made a very smoky volcano which earned applause from everyone, including Harrison!



Dad and Jason got some VERY special birthday hats!



One of which ended up on you-know-who's head! He paraded around the restaurant in it, everyone was cracking up. He always has to be the center of attention!



Back at the house we had some very yummy birthday cake for the birthday boys.



Caitlin stayed the night with us, here she is reading to Harrison about his favorite subject, trucks.



Watching Elmo with Nana and Papa before night-night time! Note the glazed over expression.....apparently this is what happens when your kid is hooked on Elmo.



We can't forget one MORE birthday boy - Vegas turned 5 years old on Sunday the 20th! Here he is doing some relaxing on his birthday in one of his favorite spots, on the deck in the sun. Gracie joined him to keep him company.
