Kalen sprints to find eggs in the backyard.  He really enjoyed this.

Julian was truly honored today.  We had so much fun.  We started out with breakfast at Weaver Street Market, a darling little hot spot in downtown Carrboro.  We had oatmeal with this delicious berry topping, along with bagels.  Yum! We then went over to the Farmer's Market and bought some chard and tomatoes to add to our garden.  We also spoke with some nice folks about Obama.  They had some signs and pins and info about the campaigning that is currently going on in NC.  We proudly took a sign home with us.  We went home and were surprised when my Mom and Annette showed up.  What a sweet treat it was to see them.  They wanted to see Julian for his birthday and gave him some gifts.  Soon after, Shanda, Jan and Jerry came.  They treated Julian to lunch out at Mellow Mushroom.  

We had cake, enjoyed a backyard egg hunt, enjoyed the sun & opened some gifts.  As always, we love spending time with the Morrisons.  

Julian requested one of his favorite meals; cabbage, green beans, black-eyed peas, and cornbread.  With that, he had some of Nana's special homemade applesauce.  He and Scott ran out to Blockbuster and he chose a movie to watch this evening with the kids, Disney's Dinosaur.  It is a cute movie with an emphasis on togetherness and family.  But before that, he had a special bath time with Kalen and their Roman ships.  What a day it was!
