I don't think I've ever been this far behind on blogging Schwab family events. It's the new year and I'm still having to do Carter's Birthday so my memory may be a bit shaky on the exact details. Carter is in Grade 9 so we're figuring his formal birthday parties will start to drop off but it was still a traditional party this year with cake, an event and kids over to the house. I finally got to take advantage of my Modo subscription as we needed a second vehicle to bring kids from the trampoline park back to the house. The parents dropped them off but we needed to get them home and we had 6 kids and room for 4. The Modo pick up went smoothly and I do recommend it as a source for a backup vehicle.
Carter continues to be meticulous about what he asks for. It starts by finding out the budget based on what Callie got for her birthday in August. From there he carefully finds the best deals to take full advantage of the budget. Amazon was a big help in shopping though I admit, Kerry did all the ordering. Carter does make sure to leave a bit of room for a 'surprise' gift.
The party finished off with video games, cake and pizza at our house. It was an ice-cream cake as some of his friends have wheat allergies. I forget what he wanted as a theme for the cake but he ended up with Luigi. The Dairy Queen we went to said they didn't have a book anymore and you had to pick from what was in the freezer. This disappointment came when we went to another Dairy Queen and they still allowed you to order.
Overall, it was a great birthday and Carter got everything he wanted. :)
