On March 14th, Nathan turned 11! ELEVEN! I remember going to the hospital when he was born! We went twice on his birth-day - the first time, please note that he was the very first NEWBORN (like 2 hours old) that I'd ever seen. I was wondering why the doctor wasn't in the room of this blue little cone-headed child! All was good after it was explained that this was what new-borns really look like (nothing like what they show on TV). We saw him again later in the day, and he was round and pink and adorable! As I was holding this wonderful little bundle of joy, I was thinking... Hmmm, I wonder if Russ knows how much I want one of these! His Dad even remarked that he (Russ) needed to watch out, because it looked like I had the baby bug. Eleven years ago, Russ and I were still dating - we didn't get married for another two years, so it was nearly six and a half years to the day that we had one of these little bundles of joy ourselves - much to Nathan's chagrin, it was a girl!
Anyway, as is tradition, we Reids all gathered for cake and presents. I was very relieved to have been served ice cream cake (don't have to chew that!).
Prezzies, cake, and colouring on bodies??? Don't all birthday parties have colouring on bodies? I think Auntie Jodi started with tattoos, but things escalated so that all of the girls (and we Reids make a lot of girls) were covered in doodles!
Auntie Jodi has a thing for Pebbles Flinstone!
This photo is from our wedding - Nathan was 2. Nathan was our ring bearer. He was wearing a wool suit; it was August 13; heat stroke happened. Between the ceremony and the reception, his Mom had to take him to the emergency!

I love birthday blogs...it is such a fun way to learn more about people's family members! Thank you for all I learned about Nathan - heat stroke on your wedding day, wow!
The Reid family (with all the different surnames) definitely knows how to put together a good celebration!!!
