nic’s birthday

To celebrate Nic’s birthday Monday we went for a hike.  I got so many shots that I totally adore.  I thought I’d share just a few…

Starting down the trail the first time.  (Someone about 3 and a half feet tall started chanting poo-poo potty about 1/3 of the way up, so we had to run back down, get in the car, find a coffee shop with a bathroom…and then try again.)

The birthday boy and his biggest fan at the top:

Nic took his turn behind the camera and got some new favorites of me and The B.

Nobody gives kisses quite like Will!

The highlight of our break at the top was the Norwegian coffee cake that my Nana sent for Nic’s birthday.  She sends them for all of our birthdays (I can’t get the recipe to work at 7000ft).

I’m not the only one who adores this cake.  It is one of Will’s favorite things and has been since he first tasted it when he turned one!  Nana knew that poor Nic doesn’t really stand a chance when it comes to a treat that both Will and I love, so she sent them with clear intentions for Nic to have a cake all to himself.  Will thought it was all wrong.  I had given him what Nic called a “crazy big piece for a two year old” but when Will saw the whole cake Nic had, he grabbed it out of his hand and swapped it.
