Nate's Birthday

WOW! We have an eleven year old. Nate got to have a friend party this year and he chose to have it at Laser Quest. The boys were excited and hyper waiting for their turn and I think they had a lot of fun. They played two games and then we had a party room and ate pizza and cake and opened presents. All his friends (friend's parents) are so generous. I loved watching him interact with his friends. He was being silly and he looked happy. Most of the time the boys don't get together with friends, I guess because we get busy and there is not much time between school and dinner/homework time. They really are each other's best friends and I love that, but it was nice to see Nate with his school friends.

Nate is a fantastic kid. He is imaginative, friendly, kind, patient, obedient, and he has a fun sense of humor. I expect a lot from him, too much usually, and he bears it pretty well. We love having him in our family and can't imagine a better older brother.

The equipment was too heavy for Sam so the first game Matt wore his vest and Sam shot the laser gun, and the second game Sam dragged me around.  Twenty minutes never felt so long.

I went in to take pictures.  I didn't use a flash so you can't see any people in them, but I thought some of them turned out kinda cool.
