Andrew's Birthday Pictures

I've downloaded the photos from the party and here are a few of the best. The first is one of the two boys trying on hats just before the party started. As you can see, last week was a week of haircuts. We all got one. Derrick and Scott used the clippers and we took Andrew to a friend who does a wonderful job. She fed him M&Ms while cutting his hair. Of course, Scott was really eager to get the back of his neck trimmed, just to get some of those yummy candies.



Here we are as a family blowing out the candle. With so much hot air, it certainly did not take long to put it out! My mom and I made the cake - a train. It was fun to make it. The other great thing about having a train party on the 2nd birthday is that "two" rhymes with "choo-choo". It makes the invitation a breeze!

Here is a close-up of the birthday boy enjoying his cake and ice cream.

We ended the party in our back yard. At one point, Kristian had all four swings occupied and was pushing kids from one end to the other.

Finally, here is a picture of Scott sporting Andrew's big birthday gift from the family. At this point, Scott loves it more than Andrew. I think Andrew is scared of it, although he loves wearing hats. He is starting to warm up to the idea of a full costume. Yesterday, he asked to wear the bandanna. Scott, on the other hand, loves to put on the full costume and "call" other trains with the walkie-talkie. His imagination grows bigger each day.
