It was an at-home-kind-of-birthday.  We hung around the house and swam.   Nigel had requested steak, cole slaw, and steak fries for dinner with all of us plus Nan & Nene, Ba & Poppy.  He made his request far enough in advance that I was able to visit the meat dept. at Wegman’s and Walmart often enough to find ample steaks marked “Special Buy” to feed the whole crew.  It was delicious. 

After dinner he opened the homemade cards from his siblings

and gifts from Ba & Poppy,

And Nan & Nene.

Mommy and Daddy provided the meal and his birthday gift request from us was to have a day out with Daddy. 

That came the following day.  They went to Applebee’s, Adventure Landing, and Cow Licks.
