day 337: happy birthday nick and grandpa! (in pictures)

This year for Nick's 6th birthday and Grandpa's 56th birthday we headed to the bowling alley on-post to bowl a few games!  Katie, Stephanie, and Luke came to celebrate too!!

Chris and Nick bowling.

Katie helped Ben every time it was his turn.

Katie was a big help with Lexie too.  They even got a strike!!!

Bowling butts.

One of the birthday boys-- doing what he does best!

Ben wasn't feeling well so he spent everyone else's turns sitting with Grandma

Mr Luke being his handsome self.

Lexie still thinks the fans are for blowing her hair.

The final score- at least for the kids' game.

After bowling we all went to Smokey Bones for dinner-- Nick wanted to share a rack of ribs with Grandpa!!  Then it was back to the house for cakes and presents!!

Mr Nick opening some birthday presents!!

The birthday boys (and Lexie) with their cakes-- cinnamon swirl and cheesecake!!

Yummy cakes!!!
