Happy Birthday Nolan

Nolan was so excited for his birthday!  He counted down the days.  He made me a list of the things he would like to have.  He would shop for himself and add things to my amazon cart.  It made my job easy, but I was still able to surprise him with a few things.  He couldn't wait to open presents.  We had a few minutes before he needed to leave for the bus, so we let him pick one.  He thought he knew what it was and picked a box that ended up being a new bluetooth speaker clock.  He was excited about it but was now stumped about the other gifts.  We made him wait until after dinner to open the rest.  He had a fun day at school and JJ took him out early.  When I got home, we decided to go do something fun with Nolan.  It was tricky to find things he could do with his cast.  He was bummed that he had so many limitations.  We decided to go play putt-putt golf.  We went to a new place that we really enjoyed, swing around fun town.  We had so much fun golfing together.  We took a little time to teach Nolan a few pointers.  He had a hole in one, he was so excited!  We had the place to ourselves, and we let Nolan repeat a few of his favorite holes before we turned our balls in on the last hole.  It was a beautiful afternoon and fun to spend time with just Nolan.  We went home and had dinner and cake.  Garrett had to work which was a bummer.  By time he put it together that he was working on his brother's birthday he couldn't get off.  He didn't work to late and was still able to spend time with him when he got off.  He got Nolan cactus and Lucy got Nolan some candy and then brought him lunch at school the next day. His primary teachers came by with an Ohio state sweatband that he was so excited about.  His teacher is a big Michigan fan, so it was hard for him to buy anything Ohio State.  Nolan had a pretty awesome birthday!  We love him so much and are glad we could celebrate him.
