The celebration actually started the night before. We ate dinner at the Olive Garden. Nathan chose this restaurant, because there kid menu is for 10 years and younger. He was so happy to order off of the adult menu. He had seafood alfredo and ate almost the whole thing.
At his request, he had a great birthday breakfast: scrambled eggs, bacon, fruit, and monkey bread!
Later that day, we went to the movie "G-Force" (hilarious, a must see!), with his side kick and best friends Nathan Otis and Josh.
In July Nathan decided that he wanted a Nintendo DSI. He took a lot of the money he has been saving over the years and bought one. For his birthday, he opted to get money rather than presents and a party, to replenish what he had spent. So that is what he got. He did have a couple of gifts to open, but the money was what he was smiling about!
Nathan's favorite cake is German Chocolate, so that was what he wanted. Since my birthday is so close to his, we decided to count it as a birthday cake for both of us. Two birthday cakes in one week is a bit much for Mom!
Happy Birthday Bud! We love you and are so proud of you!

That's a yummy looking cake. You can make my b-day cake this year.
I can't believe you have an 11 year old! I still remember when he was born! What a fun time!
Happy Birthday buddy! Sounds like he had a great day. I can just see his grin with his money and presents! His cake looks great!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Birthdays are great! I still wish the kids could eat of the kids' menus though. It is so much more expensive to go out to eat! McCall still eats a kids meal because she could never eat a full meal, but maybe we can start sharing.
