Happy Birthday Nate....again!

Nate enjoyed his second birthday party at Nana and Pa's over Memorial Day weekend. (I'm a little behind in my postings - sorry.) It was a great weekend because of the party Nana had for him and because of the awesome time we had hanging out with family. It was a real treat having most everyone there, even Grandma and Papa. (We really missed you Cindy and Newman!) Pa's boat was lots of fun with rides on the lake and a little skiing fun for Mom and Dad. And the grown ups had lots of trash-talking fun with Pa's other new toy - the pool table. It was really a fantastic weekend! As I type this, it makes me miss everyone that much more - hugs and kisses to all of you! And we'll have more fun next time we all meet back at the homestead. :)

I guess it was because I was having so much fun that I only got pictures of Nate's party. I always forgot to take it on the boat! I'll do better remembering it next time. Enjoy these of the Natester having pirate fun. He was especially patient as he had to look at all of the big presents wrapped so nicely for a 24 hour period before he was allowed to open them! Aren't we cruel!?!

What child doesn't love blowing out the candles?
Nate certainly doesn't shy away from the attention!

Nate got fabulous presents. He is still enjoying everyone of them, especially since we've started our summer break. We are always first to admit that our children are spoiled! Thanks to everyone for the great gifts. Thanks especially to Cindy and Newman for the awesome super soaker. We will certainly bring it back when you're visiting so that you too can enjoy it! :)

I think this shot sums up the weekend nicely. We had such a wonderful time that we were all quite exhausted by the weekend's end. Can't wait until next time! Until then, take care everyone!
