Happy Birthday Nate!

We celebrated Nate's birthday on Sunday, March 3, instead of on his actual birthday since Sunday nights are easier for all of us, especially Nate's cousins who are in high school. This year he decided he wanted a Shark themed party. I know this is kind of shocking... Given how obsessed he is with dinosaurs right now, I fully expected him to want that to be his theme, but nope!

So far we've kept all of our birthday parties pretty small, and this year was no exception. It was just us, Nana and Grandpa, and Aunt Cindy and her family. That's actually a lot of people for our little house! We definitely need more chairs, but Nate had a good time and that's all that matters.

FOUR!

Under the Sea

Mia was in on the theme

Pizza!

I love sharks!

Spectators thinking,  "this kid doesn't need any more stuff!"

Where's Mia?

Peek-a-boo! Happy Birthday Nate! (Just what he always wanted.)

What should I wish for? Presents! Wish came true already!

Yummy cake!

Mmmhmm! Happy birthday to ME!

The next day (on his real birthday) he took a book and cookies to school to celebrate and got to have Moe's for dinner (a real treat for him). On Wednesday, Peter took Nate and his friend, Logan, to Monkey Joe's so he could at least have a little birthday fun with friends. All in all, he had a great birthday, but he's already talking about when he turns five!
