Happy 13th Nate!

Sunday, August 25, was Nate's 13th birthday.

We celebrated on Saturday with Geeg and Papa.

We met them for dinner at Smokey Bones.

(Oooh, what did Geeg and Papa get him? $$$)

Both of our boys have summer birthdays, and so we gave them their "main" gifts at the  beginning of the summer so they could get more use out of them.  Gifts included Nooks and bikes.  Here, Nate is opening an "extra"...
"The Story"...The Bible written in story form so that it's easier to read.

We gave each of the boys a "big boy" Bible on their 13th birthday.

Nate's has his name engraved on it!

In our house, we always do something special for the "non-birthday" kid as well.

Evan got 2 new devotionals from us.

Geeg and Papa gave him his favorite snack...beef stick and sweet tea!

Nate didn't let me back/decorate his birthday cake this year.

He wanted an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen.

Nom, nom, nom!  

Make a wish!

Happy 13th birthday Natee!
We love you!
