Nathan's 10th Birthday

What a great day we had! We decided to surprise the kids by taking them to Disneyland for Nathan's birthday thanks to some wonderful friends who got us in for free. :) The day started with some early morning presents and then a birthday breakfast at Denny's. After that we headed to Disneyland.

One of our main goals/hopes for the day was for Nathan to get picked for the Jedi training show that they do. And....he did!!! He was so excited. Hannah had been picked out of the crowd when we went a couple years ago. So we really wanted Nathan to have the chance, especially since it was his birthday. Hannah also got picked again, so it was fun to watch both of them out there. They both got to fight Darth Maul.

But Nathan's favorite part of the day was getting to see the robot Asimo. We had heard that there was a robot show in the Innoventions building but had no idea it was Asimo. Nathan is a HUGE fan, so getting to see that was extra special!

On top of all the fun stuff, we were able to spend the day with some friends who came to join us there. Of course, I thought it was a great day, but the best part for me was hearing Nathan say, "This is the best birthday ever!!!" That just topped everything. :)

SO AWESOME!! I swear Star Wars is one of my fave series and how thrilling that must have been to get to be the hero! I love how he has the microphone almost into Sonora's nose! Very cute.
