The Pierce Post: Nate's birthday pics

Well, it's only a month after Nate's birthday... and I'm finally getting around to posting his birthday pictures. :) Nate's birthday fell during our vacation in North Carolina. The first thing we did to celebrate was bowling at Mac Daddy's.

Here's Nate with his cake. I bought the tank cake topper at the Wal-Mart bakery. Dustin and Rebekah live very close to Camp LeJeune, a marine base, so you see all sorts of military stuff around there. Nate has always been interested in that kind of thing, so I knew the tank would be a good choice for his cake.

When the guys lit the sparkler candles for the cake, it was only natural to put one in the gun on the tank...

Nate loved playing around with all of Danny's Nerf guns, so we decided to get him a set for his birthday. He was so excited! The only problem was that it was hard to keep it away from Steve. Whenever the kids get a cool new toy, he always grabs it "to make sure it works right". Nate and Steve had a great time battling it out in the backyard the next day, though.
