Davidson

by Ashley Weeks Cart

We spent the weekend in Davidson, North Carolina, celebrating Sunny’ 4th birthday, Uncle Ben’s graduation from college, and Uncle Ted’s birthday. SO MANY CELEBRATIONS!

We began the festivities in birthday crowns and party dresses.

We migrated to a restaurant aptly named “Tenders” that served just that, fried chicken tenders. And French fries. And milkshakes. Essentially a 4-year old’s dream dinner. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUNNY! She was gifted sparkly stickers which were immediately used to accessorize while waiting for our baskets of fried food to arrive.

Uncle Ted found the proceedings comical. Or sinister. Unclear.

Courtland pooped her pants. And the back of the car filled in as a changing table for the umpteenth time.

Then we frolicked around the Davidson campus and drank beer and blew Dandelion fluff.

We posed for some Mommy & Me shots. It was our birth day, after all.

We headed to bed relatively early so that we could rise and witness Ben’s moment in the spotlight. Uncle Ted and Courtland documented the occasion and reviewed the results.

We tried to figure out a better white balance on the camera for the hideous fluorescent lighting in the gym, but with little success. So we made funny faces to distract from the purple hues of our skin.

We wore our socks as gloves. And found ourselves hysterical for such brilliance.

We cheered and applauded Uncle Ben’s waltz across stage.

And then we ate cake to celebrate Uncle Ted’s birthday. Nom nom nom.

All in all, a whirlwind weekend of celebration. Whew. I need a nap.
