The big 20!

I thought I felt old when Nathan turned 18...now he's 20!!! How can that be when I feel like I'm not much older than 30?

Ben decorated the cake with Nathan's favorite candy.  He's lucky he was born near Halloween so candy corn are always available around his birthday...or maybe that's why he likes them so much...although I know I didn't eat lots of them when I was pregnant with him because I don't really like them that much.

Seriously contemplating his wish!  Lots to wish for with all the big changes coming up in his life.

Emma came over to celebrate with us, too.  She is such a great girl.  I'm glad she and Nate have become good friends.  She is leaving on her mission about six weeks after Nate, so unfortunately they won't see each other at the MTC.

Opening presents!  Ben gave him a pound of Bon Bon fudge.  Now that's my kind of candy!

  

Obviously everyone knows Nate likes candy!  The Crunch Berries and Jelly Bellies are from Kylie, the boxes of candy from Grandma Vikki, and the messenger bag from Brad and I.  He can fill it full of his candy and bring it everywhere with him!

Earlier in the day, Brad and I took Nate out for lunch.  It's so strange to think that he won't be here to celebrate his next two birthdays with us.
