Carson turned 8 on a Sunday, so our celebration took place after church. We'd had sickness in our family leading up to the weekend, and Dave was still down and out with it, so it wasn't quite the party we were hoping for. But Grandpa and Grandma McClure and Uncle Riley all came to celebrate with us, and that definitely helped to make the day special.
Carson is really into Harry Potter and has read the first 3 1/2 books, so I wasn't surprised at all when he requested a Harry Potter birthday cake. Most of the cakes I'd seen on Pinterest were WAY beyond me, but I managed to make one with the Gryffindor coat of arms on it. I think it turned out alright!
Carson got to wear his new suit to church and sure looked sharp. The McClures were at our house when we pulled in, so we snagged a few pictures with them.

We had lasagna for dinner (at Carson's request), opened lots of fun presents, and then ate the cake!

| Grandma and Grandpa gave Carson lots of Harry Potter-related things. He especially loved the Hogwarts Robe and Gryffindor scarf. |

| With Hedwig from Anna and his robe and scarf, Carson looks like he belongs at Hogwarts with Harry! |

| It's great to be eight! |
Dad even came downstairs for the opening of the presents. All in all, it was a good birthday and we were excited to celebrate Carson's baptism a couple weeks later...
