The fates really came together for this boy on his 9th birthday. The weekend before, Scott happened to be invited through work to a Diamondbacks game (two tickets, catered in a luxury sweet, and spending money included). So Nolan got treated to not only a professional baseball game (which he found thoroughly riveting), but also ballgame food and a new hat! I was so glad he could have that experience with his dad for his birthday.
Then on Sunday we had Uncle Paul and his family over (one of our favorite traditions), because Paul and Nolan share the exact same birthday (and the same love for cake and video games). Therefore, we had cake and played video games. So fun.
For presents, Nolan got his own set of scriptures (finally!), and a super cool watch - both at his request. Kinda sad that he's graduating from toys and games to big boy presents. And on Monday, the actual day of his birthday, we were invited to a bowling family home (away from home) evening with some extended family, including some of Nolan's favorite cousins (also a fortuitous happenstance, yet perfect birthday surprise!). The kid lucked out for his birthday. And I've lucked out to have him for a kid!
Nolan, I'm so glad you were born!
