Nick is Nine

Nicky got everything he wanted for his birthday this year - except a party. It's technically his year for one, but we're a bit cash strapped with the huge Disney vacation we have coming up, so we bargained with him to move his party year to next year in exchange for "the party of the century"! ;-) Fortunately for us, the most that will probably mean is a party at Rascals or Bounce U. Still, he looks like he had fun on his birthday, party or no. Here he is opening his gifts:




Daddy was so helpful with the present opening:


Later, he had to go to cantata rehearsal:


But then it was time for more presents from the extended family:



And of course, birthday cake! Or, actually, Cookie Dough Ice Cream birthday cake:


Happy Birthday, Nicky!
