Birthday Party!

Nate got two parties this year!

Okay, so the first was a little thrown together. We met some friends at a nearby cupcake shop.  This is Nate with his most favorite person in the world, Bryce.  Bryce is a "bigger boy."  He probably gets tired of hearing his own name when Nate is around.  He's a good sport about it, though.


The second was our usual small family gathering.  You won't find anything Pin-worthy here, but it is such a sweet time.  We order a cake and balloons and the kiddos can't wait for the grandparents to come.  Here's my mom sneaking Nate a pre-birthday-cake cookie.



This year Nathan wanted a Spiderman party.  We've never seen any Spiderman movies or shows and, until recently, didn't own any Spiderman books.  I have no idea how he even knew what Spiderman was.  But once he decided he wanted Spiderman, all of Mama's cutesie tractor party ideas were out the window. 

To get icing this bright add 56 parts food coloring to 1 part icing.
Nate blew out the candles like a champ! It was so, so fun to watch.


A birthday kiss from the sister.


At the end of the day, he said blowing out the candles on his cake was his favorite part of the day.  Every time we ate leftover cake he asked us to get out the candles and sing. :-)  I love him.    

Then...presents!

Brooke made Nate a bracelet and book and wrapped it.  She couldn't wait to finally give it to him.




Can you tell I had planned on a tractor party?  Oh, well.
Such a fun day celebrating three sweet years!!  Thank you so much to the grandparents.  And happy birthday to you, Nathan!! :-)  We love you so much, buddy.
