Happy Birthday to my teenager!!

This week was Nathan's birthday and he turned 13!!  Wow!  A teenager!  He woke up Tuesday morning and before he ate breakfast, signed up for Facebook.

He received a Captain America shirt and socks which he can wear when he goes on his zipline trip this month!!  We are taking him on the new zip line at Riverbanks Zoo in a week or so.  Can't wait since I get to go also!  

After a day at school, he arrived home to find birthday cards!!!  With money!!  So between the birthday money and his saved money, he went to the store to buy his Beats.  Now he can have amazing sound from his iPod and not be able to hear anything else at the same time...what a great thing for a teenager.

To celebrate his birthday with his friends, he had a mystery party Friday night.  It was a rock/rap theme mystery.  I bought it online since I really didn't want to come up with a mystery on my own.  He had a mystery party several years ago and he and his friends have been asking to do another one.  I think this one was more confusing to follow than the first one we did, but the boys had fun.  One of them "died"; one was the "killer"; and they all walked around talking like gangster rappers!  I did draw the line on baggy pants and underwear hanging out though!  

Along with a mystery, the boys played lots of football; even in the rain!!  And we ended the evening with Duck Dynasty.  All in all a very fun evening :)  Maybe this teenage thing won't be too bad!
