Nathan's birthday

Nathan's birthday lasted about two weeks this year, it just kept going and going. Nate loved every bit of it! David told Nathan months ago that when he turned five he could watch Star Wars. Nathan had been eagerly awaiting it. When the day finally arrived he was so excited. We waited until it was time for AJ to take his nap, then it was finally time! (This was mommy's first time watching it too). The first half of the movie Nathan talked and talked about everything that was happening. It was very cute, the second half of the movie was kind of boring I guess because Nathan brought some of his Legos down and played with them while the movie was on. After the movie, Nathan said he liked it but didn't want to watch it again right away.

For his birthday dinner we went to Steak and Shake. Nathan got a free milkshake, and that was all he wanted to eat. But he ate his "yummy birthday dinner" and loved it (because he got a side of bacon).

We had a really fun day with him.

Nathan, you are such a joy to be around. You are growing up so big and so fast (please slow down). You have such a great imagination and I love to hear you talk and play. I love to see you being a good, sweet big brother to Anderson and sharing toys with him and giving Tessa sweet hugs and kisses. You are so smart and you love school. You have so many friends there and such great teachers. We love to see you learning and growing each day. Mommy and dad-o love you so much Nathan!
