Birthday Boy

Nate's birthday was pretty uneventful but I think he had a fun day. He woke up to find some decorations in his room that his sisters made him. It was all their idea and I thought it was really cute...

Nate loves Sesame Street.

We had a pretty normal day. Natalie had preschool that day so Nate and I got some good one-on-one play time together. I worked hard making my first ice cream cake and it turned out pretty darn good. The cake was Natalie's idea. It was chocolate cake with cookies 'n cream ice cream.

"Coo-kies! (Num num num)"

Nate especially loved when we sang Happy Birthday to him.

Here he is so excited for it...

The big moment...

(You might notice that Joe expertly blew out the candles before he stuck his face right in the flames.)

This was probably the biggest hit:
trains!
You'll probably notice the girls playing too. They all love to play trains together.

Concentrating...
"Happy to you" Nate!
