Happy Birthday Nate!

Nate turned 10 today. We are so lucky to have him in our family! He is such a fun boy! We had Costco muffins for breakfast, I took him and Jake out to Panda Express for lunch, picked up some donuts to take to his class, hamburgers for dinner (with Grandma and Grandpa deCesare) then off to the girls' choir concert and out to Golden Spoon for dessert with Grandma and Grandpa Krummenacher and Grandma deCesare (he doesn't like cake). Here are some pictures of his birthday: Nate wanted a suit of all things for his birthday. I had forgotten untill about 10:00pm last night so Brent and I ran to Kohl's. Luckily they had one size 12 left.Nate got his best friend a bb gun (with his parent's permission) for his birthday so I thought he would like one. I saw this Red Rider (you'll shoot your eye out) bb gun at Walmart and had to get it. We of course watched The Christmas Story a few days ago so he would be excited when he opened it. He loved it!He has wanted as he called it a Rib Stick forever. I guess this is the new thing all the boys want now. It is actually called a Rip (not Rib) Stick and Nate now knows this after his siblings repeatedly corrected him today. He is already getting pretty good at it. Here is a picture of the girl's concert tonight. I had to show it so everyone could see how many kids are in choir at their junior high. This is all five choirs combined for a song together at the end. The kids go all the way down the stairs and down the aisle. They have an amazing music program and choir teacher at their school and are expected to learn songs Brent and I sang in high school, regional, and all state (Brent) choirs. We feel so lucky that they have such a great experience in junior high.Lastly, here is a close up picture I took of Sarah after she got her retainer at the ortho today. She can't stop smiling. She is now wanting whiter teeth so the ortho gave her some whitener to put on every night.
