Happy Brithday to Nate! (2009)

Another year has come and gone.... Time for Nate's birthday again.

Misty made a delicious dinner - Shepherd's pie with salad and cake / ice cream for dessert. Misty makes a fantastic cake that is becoming my favorite too. Of course, the desired ice cream for Nate's birthday is cookies and cream.

I had to laugh at Adalei - she is closing her eyes because she doesn't want me to take the picture. She reminds me of her Aunt Charity! Of course, Adalei finds it quite fun and funny!



Just a cute shot of father and son! Nate is great at putting Elijah to sleep!


















The very delicious birthday cake with three candles in one row and two in the other! Happy birthday to Nate! Misty made homemade vanilla ice cream and put crushed Oreo cookies in it. (The ice cream is in the bowl by the cake.)












I got Nate this book - It is from the Made in Oregon store - stories, poems, recipes, etc. I also gave him some peanut M&M's. Seems like I may have given him something else but I can't remember what it was. (I sure am getting forgetful as it wasn't that long ago.)

Misty gave Nate peanut M&M's also....






Misty is so creative - she gave Nate this balloon for his birthday along with some other gifts. Adalei and Brielle were trying to pop the balloon to get the paper inside that said what the birthday gift was. Adalei tried to pinch the balloon and bite it. Then Brielle tried to pop it by sitting on it. None of these attempts were successful. Finally it was poked with something sharp and popped! The surprise gift was a shopping trip to purchase running clothes for the rainy weather.

Nate was very happy and enjoyed his birthday. He was excited to get the waffle bat and ball from Casey & Jenna!
