Xbox Party.

Nate's birthday started Friday night when Ryan and I took him and his cousin Ben out for dinner at Moxie's. Its always fun and special to do things like this with one child at a time, and we really enjoyed our dinner with the two boys. We sure love Ben and were glad he could come and sleep over as well. I really hope the two cousin's will be best friends forever. Nate was especially happy he got to have two glasses of sprite! Saturday he had his birthday with his friends. He invited 3 friends over to play xbox. They had fun playing Kinect adventures and sonic racing. We're grateful that Nate has such good friends. My friend made him some Xbox cupcakes which were rootbeer flavored and delicious! Thanks Megs! Nate loved them and had two eaten before his friends had one eaten. On Sunday, we had mine and Ryan's immediate families over for supper and dessert. Nate wanted ichi ban so I compromised with a white sauce spaghetti. I messed up on the sauce and had to fix it and there ended up not being enough for anyone to have second's. I'm still not good at feeding lots of people and had  moment of frustration where I was really wishing my Momma was here to help me, cause of course she would have known exactly what to do. We had skor cake and apple pie for dessert and did a pinuata for the kids. It was so much fun! We are very blessed with two amazing families! Nate got spoiled, especially by his Grandpa Jim and Penny. The boys had been asking for DS's for Christmas and I flat out told them no, not this year. Well, my Dad found one on sale on Kijiji that came with seven games. I don't know who was more surprised, me or Nate! I think he had a really good weekend! I always hope that my kids feel really special on their Birthdays.
