Ten-year-old Nate!

The celebration started the weekend before Nate’s birthday with a visit from Grampy and Grammy. Why, oh why, can’t I seem to get a picture of them when they visit?! They gave Nate the baseball backpack he’s been wanting, and got to see one of his games on a beautiful spring day.

Early family birthday dinner and cake, then off to the ball field for a night game, with Pappy and Mema cheering in the stands.

Due to a full spring calendar, we had to schedule the big friend bash the following weekend while Erik was traveling. Thankfully Mema stayed to help with the party: a sports-pizza-movie-sleepover extravaganza with lots of friends. (I think she spent five hours straight following the boys around cleaning…supper…cake…wrapping paper…popcorn…)

No real theme this year, just a hex-bug cake and a “nano” as a favor for each friend.

After the Hobbit, “The Best Pillow Fight Ever!”

And eventually, a little sleep for everyone.

 

Happy birthday My Buddy! It is fun to celebrate you—one of God’s good gifts to our family!
