Party Time!

Tomorrow Nathan will turn 2 years old.

We decided to celebrate with a little family party last weekend when we had company.

He seemed to delight in every little thing about the celebration and didn't even seem to mind that his mom didn't have wrapping paper and used brown paper sacks. :)

A new book about colors- couldn't be more excited. I love those pudgie fingers gripping the book.

I spent the week before drawing a playmat "city" for his cars to drive on. Christine showed up just in time to help me finish it up and added some great touches. I'll post a pic of it after I finish up the final touches after bedtime some night. Don't want him to see me drawing and coloring on it- that would give him some dangerous ideas! He was very excited about it and the new cars he received.

Hooray! More cars!

I was fully prepared to make a birthday cake but as I was gathering supplies Trent offered to make it. No problem! He came up with this adorable little pick-up truck with a load of M&M's in the back.

As you can see, Nathan was thrilled about his cake and the fire that adorned the top.

Due to much "rehearsing" of birthdays lately (instigated by older sis) he knew exactly what to do.

Your little brother's birthday is almost as good as having your own.

Nathan had no trouble getting into the excitement of his celebration!

He dabbled at the at the cake and tasted the ice cream but seemed more excited about all the excitement than actually eating it!

Happy Birthday, Little Buddy.
