We celebrated Nolan's 7th Birthday with our family and friends on May 1st at the MACCenter! It was a hectic week before the party since he was in the hospital and then Mabel got sick on Friday and Saturday before the party and the weather was not cooperating, but we pulled off another great party for the special boy! We counted 78 people at the party at one point but we didn't get a picture of everyone this year. We served BBQ beef, Jello salad, Coleslaw, Beans, Chips, and Veggies for the meal! For the dessert we had assorted pies instead of cake since it was a tractor/farm themed party! Uncle Jon made a video to show at the party and it was perfect, of course Mommy and Daddy were in tears because it was the first time we had seen the video! Nolan's life has been such a journey of ups and downs and so it was so special to share that journey with everyone especially after the previous weekends events. We all had a great time visiting with everyone and it was an amazing day for Nolan!
The pie table and some of the decorations for the party!
Strawberry pie, rhubarb pie, apple pie, and pumpkin pie! YUM!
Guests before eating! We had balloons on the tables with tractors, hay bales (rice krispy treats), and a different plant!
Mr. Richman (Nolan's teacher and family friend) came to the party and as soon as he knelt down beside Nolan and started talking Nolan smiled!
Some of the South Dakota Kruse's at the party! Nolan and Stella tried to take a picture in their capes together but neither one of them wanted to cooperate!
Nolan happy with a balloon!
