It’s January 4th and it’s time to celebrate birthday #2 for Nate! It turned out to be a wonderful day and Nate was in a good mood. Actually, everyone was in a good mood. Audrey had her first day back to school. She asked me to pick her up early from school because she didn’t want to miss Nate’s birthday party. How cute! But the festivities weren’t planned till 4:30 so everyone could get together. Usually we have a big family gathering at our house but as family moved away and great-grandparents get older it has become a smaller gathering. We decided on a smaller celebration with Matt’s parents at their house.
Now Nate knew it was his day. Funny how they get that so early. Anytime you said “birthday boy” or sang “Happy Birthday,” he would smile and giggle. I feel so blessed to have him in my life (like I do both my kids) and that he is healthy with minimal complications. So this birthday felt so much more special to me than his first. Only because we didn’t have to under go all that testing and I’ve gotten comfortable with the things that can come with dwarfism. I contribute this to our wonderful blogging moms and dads out there.
At grandpa and grandma’s house we had Taco Bell for dinner. You may laugh at that but Nate L-O-V-E-S TB burritos. So you get your choice of birthday dinner! Grandpa made 2 wonderful cakes. Why I didn’t take pictures, I don’t know? But one was a teddy bear (3D-like) and the second was a strawberry cake. Unfortunately all the excitement made Nate toss his cookies, so he got a birthday bubble bath before he opened presents. It was just 10 days ago that we celebrated Christmas with a ton of presents so what else could a boy need… a car! While everything he got was a big hit minus the clothes, I say his new red coupe was his favorite. He drives it everyday! Happy 2nd Birthday Nate!!!
My new Car! Dad, grandpa and me!
Say Cheese! Here’s the Bear Cake!
Nate in his house again! Can’t get enough!
