Nathan’s 11th Birthday

Nathan Samuel turned 11 on Friday, August 13th. 

Nathan was born on a Friday the 13th, so it was an extra special day this year.

His theme was Dinosaurs and his day morphed into a weekend of partying because this year happened to be the Sesquicentennial of Imlay City, complete with fair, fireworks and parade!

 

In normal two-year-old fashion, Lucy demanded that all gifts were actually for "Deesy" and screamed until she was given them.

 

We hid all of Nathan's presents and he did an amazing job finding them quickly.

Chocolate covered strawberries from Nonna and Grandad.

After a football game and pool time, we headed for the library. Sarah won the grand prize for teens in the summer reading program and Nathan picked out a movie to watch.

His choice was no surprise.

I burned the first cake VERY BADLY. Esther made these and Sarah decorated them. 

Later that night, around dusk, we headed out to the fairgrounds where we played and watched a magnificent display of fireworks.
