Nathaniel's Birthday

I can't believe Nathaniel is 8. While I missed celebrating with him last year, it's bittersweet because Joel isn't here. We were so glad to have a party with family. We let him watch Jurassic Park that night since he loves dinosaurs. He enjoyed that.

Seth just mostly wanted to make a mess with his cake, not eat it

Spinosaurus cake - not my best but I ran out of icing

We did several big puzzles together. Not sure we got a picture of the first one, but I think Will did this aquarium one himself.

More Christmas with Family

My parents and Aunt Hill came after Christmas to celebrate Nathaniel's birthday. One of their favorite gifts were these cool Caterpillar hats.

Seth's Ice Cream Cone and post-Christmas Selfies

Seth has asked several times lately about having an ice cream cone. He's never really had one. I think one time I took Seth and Joel in the stroller to Baskin Robins, and fed them ice cream out of a cup. Seth has seen ice cream cones in books and movies, so he was curious about trying one. We bought some cones and strawberry ice cream and made him a cone shortly after Christmas.

Finally got my hair cut
