I can’t believe
Nathaniel is 20 years old today! This afternoon, Jonathan really wanted to go swimming. Nathaniel didn't really want to since the water was cold, but he was a good sport and went swimming with the boys for a little while.
He wanted Olive Garden for dinner, so I made a takeout order. We had dinner and cleaned up and got ready for the homecoming parade.
The parade was awesome! There were so
many families who drove by! Nathaniel is the 10th missionary from our ward to come home. Two weeks ago, they had a homecoming parade for four different missionaries who had just returned home. Then last week, they had one for five missionaries. Nathaniel was the only one left who was coming home and we weren't sure when he would arrive. So, tonight Nathaniel was the only one on the route. Since he was the only one, they
drove around twice.
Carol and Erin came to see Nathaniel--at a distance, of course
After the parade
The
Akers came over a little later. They stayed and visited with us for a little while.
Once everyone left, we went inside to have cake and presents with Nathaniel. He was pretty happy about the Lion King play tickets
and the AirPods and his Amazon gift card. He also really
liked the book I got him called A Case for the Book of Mormon. We had cake and
then read scriptures, Doctrine and Covenants section 110. Then we cleaned up and ended the night watching Avengers: Endgame. Nathaniel was really looking forward to watching
it!
Happy Birthday, son! We're so glad you're home!
