4th Birthday Celebration

I asked Nathan if he wanted to go to Pump It Up for his birthday party, but he said that he would rather just invite all of his friends from school to his house. Since I'm not crazy enough to let that happen, we just went with a family gathering. That's actually a lot more fun for Nathan. It's actually a lot more fun for me too. The last thing I wanted was 20 kids at my house. So here it is. This is the party that Nathan has been talking about for months. He didn't wake up that morning "all the way big" like he thought he might, but that didn't stop him from enjoying the day.
Kathryn was there to help out and to try to grab everything away from Nathan as soon as he opened his gifts.
Nathan likes pictures of people on their cakes. The picture machine wasn't working at Publix, so we went with this picture of Nathan instead. He liked it just fine.
There's the birthday boy!
Aunt Ruth and Uncle Larry brought Cousin Emma with them.
Nathan had fun playing with Emma.


The Normans and New School Haggerty had some unfinished business they had to tend to. They both made it to the finals on during Paw-Paw's birthday party, but we ran out of time before they could play for the title. Here they are playing cornhole again.
Joe and Lexi won the cornhole tournament. They are quite the team when it comes to backyard recreation.

Nathan enjoyed all the attention of being the birthday boy.
For the rest of the party everyone just hung out.

Happy Birthday, Bayba-Bayba! I love you!
