Wasn't That a Party?


Nathan's 14th birthday party started off with games. Nathan and his grandma competed to see who could roll a marble to a marked spot on a tennis racket. Not as easy as it looks.


Then Grandpa and his daughter-in-law competed in a cut out puzzle made from an old cereal box. These were all one minute competitions.


Uncle Murray and Uncle Andrew tried to toss four golf balls into a bucket using only two fingers and an elastic band.


Nana and Nathan flipped as many pennies as they could into a bucket. Only one minute!



Nathan and Uncle Murray found out who could balance ten books on their head first, one at a time.


Chad and Nathan had to fold and fly a paper airplane in one minute, and with only one hand.


Then Andrew and Murray tried it and Andrew got his flying first, but with only a second left on the clock, Murray flung his and it went further.


Everybody got a great prize when it was time to eat.



And, as you saw in yesterday's post, there was a 'melt in your mouth' triple chocolate cheesecake with candles. Nathan knows how to pick 'em and his mom knows how to bake 'em. Everything was delicious!  


Gifts galore!


Post party activity was this 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle. So addictive!


After a most delightful evening, we had to haul Nana off to bed. As you can tell, the party made her very tired. Liam, a regular party animal, would go on a little longer yet.
So who is having a party next week? Can we come?
