Andrew's Birthday Party

This is the only video I took of Andrew's birthday. I should have had someone video while we were singing to him, because it was pretty funny. At first he didn't know what was going on, then he was happy to see and hear everyone singing to him. He loved the cake, thanks to Betsy, who made an adorable and delicious lemon marble cake that looked like a puppy. Unfortunately, I erased the picture I had of his cake! What a dummy I am sometimes! But not to fear - Betsy is sending me her copy soon. Thank goodness she's as OCD as I am in organizing and documenting

After we gave him the cake, which you can see he deliberately threw on the floor, my beloved brother-in-law, Fred said in a very concerned voice, "Koelle, are you ok?" (Because it was an absolute mess). Yes, it seems the crucial ingredient in curbing OCD is alcohol. After 5 glasses of sangria, I was able to allow him to destroy that cake and my floor without twitching!

Above are also pictures from the party. He had a great time and got a lot of nice gifts. Thanks so much to all of you who came or sent things for him. He is very lucky to have been born into such a wonderful group of family and friends.

It's another beautiful day here today, so I am going to get ready and take the boys outside. I hope everyone is having some wonderful spring weather like we are! It does wonders for your morale!
