Andrew’s Birthday Party

We asked Andrew what he wanted for his birthday and he told us that he wanted to give his friends “bags with toys and candy.” He is such a giver! :)

Apparently, goodie bags are all the rage at school these days …

We had Andrew’s party the Saturday before his birthday. He had a handful of friends come over and of course, some of Mommy and Daddy’s friends who are honorary “aunts” and “uncles” to help celebrate his big day. He got lots of presents, ate circus cake and played outside with his friends in his new club house and on the swing set. A good time was had by all!

We woke him up on his birthday by singing him happy birthday with a cupcake with 4 candles on it and then we let him have the cupcake for breakfast. Aren’t we cool parents? It was a great family morning after the big celebration the evening before.

In a move that Doug says is going to scar Andrew for life, we went to a birthday party Sunday evening. No, not for Andrew – for someone else. The party was for our good friends’ little boy, Jack. Jack is 2 years younger than Andrew and his birthday is just a week after Andrew’s. Normally, they would not have had his birthday on a Sunday and a week before his birthday, but Jack’s dad was leaving on a 6 week long business trip to Vietnam, hence the timing. I am happy to report that Andrew had fun at the party and does not appear to be scarred in any way from the occurrence.

Sorry for the delay in posting the photos from his party and his birthday morning – sometimes life just gets busy (see When it Rains it Pours post).

Happy Birthday, Andrew!
