Birthday Party

October 27, 2012, Saturday - Today we had Nathan's birthday party at the bowling alley.  They are remodeling, but were ready for us to have a fantastic time.  The kids enjoyed bowling 2 rounds, eating pizza, cake, playing laser tag and then playing in the new game room on the state-of-the-art equipment!  Everyone had a blast!  Happy 8th Birthday, Nathan!  We love you so much!

Happy 8th Birthday, Nathan!

After dinner Nathan blew the candles out on his Cinnamon Roll cake and opened some presents.

Trophy Time
