Our cousin Nathan takes his job as cousin above and beyond.
He attends all our family functions, he goes out of his way to help family members from painting, house-sitting, to even dog-sitting, he has put together multiple video presentations for birthday parties (that always takes time), and has been willing to help Dave with scouts on a short notice call. Not to mention he's amazing at cartoon voices, which the boys just love!
After all the things he does for us and the celebrations we've had,
it was time to celebrate him.
Nathan is an avid movie man. He has plans to work in film and has made many movies of his own. So, the theme of our party was the Academy Awards.
His brother in-law lured him to our place by telling him there was a desk he needed help moving. So we all waited outside on the red carpet for his arrival.

After the red carpet we headed in to enjoy some goodies.
An of course an Oscar was there
And what's a ceremony without a podium
Nathan was still really surprised.
With popcorn in hand, we were ready for the movie presentation.
After the movie, Wolverine (aka Peter) presented
the honoree of the night with his golden award.

An course, there was a speech...
And then some birthday singing, with Nathan's help.
After cake, we played a game as a group.
Peter had to stretch out to get ready for the game.
We played a word game called Funglish. Everyone got into the action.
If you ask Gramma, she'd say the ladies won the game by one.

Then there were gifts. Nathan loved his new bag.
Actually, Kairsee didn't wrap it, so he got to dig through her purse until he found what he thought his birthday gift was. Turned out to be movie tickets.
We had a lot of fun celebrating with Nathan.
We hope he knows what an important part of our family he is.

Thanks for sharing! Looks like a very cool time for Nathan and everyone there! Nathan truly has the moves!! Good job Ashley, David and Peter! Didn't see Carissa's boyfriend in the pics - was he there?

What a special birthday celebration for Nathan, a diversified and well covered party that let me get to know him a lot better, since I see him at parties and when people are moving, this was revealing to me and "Way to go Nathan, will all your talents".
Triple A+ for the blog, Ashley.
Love you guys, Aunt Diana
Nice 'stretching' cover-up for me, Ashley...:)
It was pretty awesome. I'm glad we were able to do that!
BTW...I look pretty buff in that tshirt, I should wear that one more often.
