nate's {2nd} birthday



It's amazing how much they change in ONE year. Nate turned 2 yesterday!



Nate had a fun birthday. He was so incredibly happy all morning - it was such a treat! We played and played and had a great time. He took a nap at my parent's house so I could start getting ready for the party. My mom was a huge help - I would have been stressed without her!



We had a pool party to celebrate Nate's big day. We kept it small this year . . . Nate's little buddies came . . . {their parents happen to be our buddies, too} so that was fun! He loved having some of his favorite people there. We talked about his party all day so he was excited when they all showed up.

We ate yummy food.

Played in the tunnels and on the slide.



Did a little swimming . . .




Opened presents and had some cake & icecream.




Thanks to all who came to celebrate with us. Nate had a great birthday! Happy Birthday, bud. We love you! Thanks for all the birthday phone calls & packages. We appreciate it. Oh, and a big thanks to grandma and papa marz for letting us have another party at their house!

Two things:
A) love the popped collar. such style at such a young age.

B) is the blue/green table/chairs from ikea? YIKES, if they aren't!?! I just think I have seen them there... if not, where are they from! - so cute!

Both girls cried and cried all the way home...a sign of a great party. Thanks for the invite.

Bummed I left a 1/2 full orange soda and have little hearing left in my right ear but thats the price you pay for a good time....
