I can't believe how fast my nephews are growing up. Nash is now FOUR! Unbelievable. He had an awesome birthday party at the Princeton Club on the west side of Madison.
I was so happy to see my nephews.
They're always such gentlemen. Linc clearly wanted to dig into the cake right then and there, but he was very patient.
This was Nash's first birthday party where he could invite his friends from daycare.
The first activity was to build little race cars out of foam parts. It was really fun, even for me! Nash likes to do crafts, so he was a natural.
The kids waited patiently for their turn to do the bean bag toss activity. Other activities included "Pin the Tire on the Car" and "Matchbox Car Races".
This was another party game. One kid would sit in a box and the another would push. (A laundry basket or a plastic storage bin would have been stronger and easier to push.)
The "helmets" were really cute.
A couple of the kids threw a fit if he or she didn't win every game. One kid especially had some control issues. But I was amazed at how tolerant and accepting Nash was. Win or lose, he had a good time. What a great sport!
Linc's favorite part was the cake. He not only ate this piece, he ate another!
Nash had a great time opening his presents.
My parents got Nash a bike. He was a little too short for it to be comfortable, but he'll soon grow into it. Then watch out! He'll be off to new frontiers!
(I love Sarah's expression!)
Look at all this loot!
Thankfully the place provided a cart for Sarah to haul this stuff to her car.
Brad and Sarah invited my parents and me back to their house. The boys started playing with all the new toys. Linc decided to open up the box that contained the new car seat that Sarah's parents got Nash. He was shockingly adept at handling scissors, and he easily managed to get the seat out of the box and onto the kitchen floor. He promptly sat in it. Sarah tried to explain to him that it was Nash's car seat. To which Linc replied, "But look, Mom! I fit!" I about died laughing.
