Birthday Week

Nathaniel's birthday was a week long event! Here were our daily activities:
Monday - June 6

Lunch with Aunt Mi (Michelle) and Samantha. We had yummy sandwiches and chocolate chip cookies at Aunt Mi's house and Nathaniel brought home a very loud talking Elmo. He also got to sit on Aunt Mi's very cool tractor! Thanks Aunt Mi!

Infants & Toddlers End of Year Party at Dorsey Park complete with chick-fil-a for lunch and ice cream for dessert. Dinner, cupcakes and gifts with Mommy & Daddy that evening. A Strider bike, helmet, a couple car shirts and new swim trunks. After dinner we all went outside and Nathaniel and Daddy played in the sprinklers! Nathaniel likes his strider bike but is not interested in riding it yet so pictures to come!

I think it is safe to say Nathaniel had a wonderful birthday! And we can't thank our friends and family enough for helping us celebrate! I didn't get pictures of everyone - some of you escaped my camera and I was busy talking but we are still really glad you came!
