PARTY PICTURES!

My SD card on the video camera was full, so we only got a short video of him digging into his cupcake.  We did get more pictures though!

We enjoyed a wonderful 1st Birthday party for Nathan yesterday!  We had lots of friends and family to help us celebrate this special boy too.  He received many fun gifts and he has already figured some of them out.  Here are some pictures from the great day.

CAKE TIME!

Nathan enjoyed his cupcake (especially the frosting) and made a big mess.  Just the way he should!

PRESENT TIME!

Jess took notes for us and Jack helped rip off the paper!

The weather was beautiful, friends and family surrounded us, the food was not only totally cool to look at but also tasted great, the presents were just what Nathan needed, and we are absolutely blessed!  A huge thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate!
