Andrew's party

This year we did a christmas party/anniversary/birthday party all in one. We had a lot of people over. There were kids everywhere. I think I understood how the old woman who lived in the shoe, who had so many kids she didn't know what to do, felt like. Wow, that was a lot of work. But it was SO MUCH FUN! I think Andrew had a great time too. We first started it off with gingerbread house making. We did it all from scratch this year and it tunred out awesome!

We had frusting everywhere and kids shoving candy in their mouths and just covering their houses like crazy. They had a great time. It was fun to see how inventive these little ones can get. Next, we had the kids dress their dads up like Santa with shaving cream. This has always been a fun tradition we started with our christmas parties. The kids did a good job.

Then it was time for the birthday boy to blow out the candles on his cake. He blew them all out in just one huff and puff.

Then we opened up gifts and let them play around until our special guest made his grand apperance. Bro. Angus from our ward did a great job.  The kids were so excited to see him. So they all lined up one by one and took turns sitting on his lap telling him all the things they wanted for Christmas. Funny thing, Santa didn't know about half of them.

Everyone had a great time sitting on Santa's lap

Well almost everyone, Owen was late for bed and little freaked out by the man in the red suit. Oh well his time will come and he will learn to lvoe the big man.

Thanks to everyone who came to Andrew's party. He was very spoiled. He is so lucky to have great frines and incredible family members who love him so much.

Happy Birthday Andrew!
