4!

Wow - has it really been 4 years?!? We celebrated Nate's birthday on Sunday with some good family time. He has grown so much in this last year and we are excited for what this coming year will bring. Opening presents on birthday morning...

Debbie & Wayne got him a new backpack - I think he likes it!

We use this plate on his birthday. My friend Audra made it when Nate was born and it is so fun to pull it out on his special day.

After breakfast, we headed to Build-A-Bear at the Zoo. We did the same thing last year, but at the Science Center. I look forward to making this a tradition until Nate gets too grown up for it! He chose a Frosty the Snowman and of course named him Frosty...orginal.

Giving Frosty his first bath...

It took a few dozen takes but we got one I think will work.

The cake!!!! With lots of encouragement from my friend Nicole, I was brave enough to try my hand at cake making. The Little Einstein's Rocket turned out perfect! I am very proud of myself, if I do say so. Nate loved it and it was worth every minute!

Blowing out the candles...

Nate's "big" present was a keyboard from us. Needless to say, he loves it. It even has a play iPod docking station where he can record songs and then play them anywhere. They do learn early, don't they. It is kind of loud, but worth it to see him so happy.

I'm sure when he is 8, I will be shocked that it has been another 4 years! Happy Birthday Nate!
