Happy Birthday Nathan!

Nathan had a great day start to finish.  When he got up, there was a surprise for him in the living room: a new slide.  Nathan loves slides and so I thought it would be great if he had his own.  It was the best gift of the day.  He didn't stop playing with it all day long.

Right before Nathan's nap, I let him open another present.  I grabbed the camera and as soon as I lifted it up to take the picture, Nathan gave me the biggest cheese.  What a ham!

While Nathan was down for his nap, I went to work on his party.  Have I ever mentioned that Nathan's favorite color is yellow?  He shows a definite preference for all things yellow.  A yellow birthday party was in order for my sunshine.

We had a few friends over to celebrate.  We sang happy birthday and Nathan gave everyone a round of applause afterwards.  Nathan did NOT like the frosting.  But once I wiped it off he was very happy to eat his cake.

No, no, no frosting Mom!

Then it was time for presents.  Nathan got a bunch of books, a car ramp, and an animals puzzle for his birthday.  All were great hits with him.

What a wonderful year it's been with this bug.  He's such a happy little guy.  He thinks he is the funniest thing in the world.  I love his fun little personality.  We're sure lucky to have this little guy!
