Party On....and on....

Nathan invited four of his buddies to his 12th birthday which included bowling, cake and a sleepover! Everyone appeared to have an excellent time and the boys were quite well behaved. Interesting to note though that the two more 'active' boys were not first borns. The first born kids were a bit better at 'toeing the line'!!! Just an observation...

Hanging out between games at the bowling alley
Happy 12th Nate! Thanks for requesting an ice cream cake, therefore making it easy on old mom!

The gang...including Liam who LOVED being with all those kids!



Settling in for snacks and a movie.


Chad was relegated to the corner. He was getting a bit out of control as he is prone to do and with the 'three strikes you're out' threat he was getting dangerously close to being
evicted from the family room.

The boys were thrilled with the waffles, strawberries and whipped cream for breakfast. Moms and Dad showed up shortly after and now it's all a distant memory. It went well and Nathan is happy so it's all good.
Keith and I have already cleaned everything up....clink clink clink up the vacuum hose goes all the popcorn :)
Time now to prepare for the family party tomorrow!

Looks like Nathan had a fantastic party. And you make it look so easy!
I love the picture of Chad in the corner. Hilarious. Although I'm sure he didn't think so. Ah..the life of a younger brother. :)
