Happy 11th Birthday to Nathan, Kristen & Lydia!

Our celebration started on Sunday, 6/16... a combo Father's Day/Birthday event!

Lydia's chocolate Andes Mint cake (L did the decorating)

Nathan's "geode" cake (the top layer is a sugar cookie)

and the rest is chocolate mint

Nathan's geode (the model for his cake)

Kristen wanted some sort of lemon/raspberry cake.

Kristen & MeMe (Susie) concocted a masterpiece together!

Today-- birthday date outings, swimming, ballet camp, free sundae's at Culver's, and a family party at home (yes, we ate leftover cake)!

Kristen's breakfast date - IHOP

Lydia's lunch date - Panda Express

James borrowed a tandem recumbent bike for the day...

It was a big hit with all the kids (including our neighbor friends)!

James & Nathan rode in style to Panera for the bday supper date.
