Birthday Pictures

Andrew requested a Race Car party and by 'race car' he meant Lightening McQueen. The one and only, in his mind, race car. We had 6 of his best friends and a few siblings come to his party this past Sunday. At first he was timid and unsure...not quite like him, but once he warmed up, he was the life of the party!

We played Pin the Tooth on the Tow Mater, a hand crafted mom-invented game. Each child had a tooth with their name on it. Andrew came in first place. No, it wasn't rigged!

The cake. Ned gets all the credit!

Happy Boy!

His actual birthday, Monday Andrew and his three best buds, Lauren, Ian and Henry went out to lunch at a cool cafe in Belgium that has a big play area.

At school on Tuesday, the day after his birthday, he celebrated with his classmates. It is a school tradition that the birthday child gets one of these teacher-made personalized hats. Katie still has hers from when she turned 4! The kids love them.
