Andy Turns Three!

Andy turned three on Sunday. We celebrated the occasion with the second annual trip to Union Station to see the enormous model train display. This was followed by lunch at Fritz's where the overhead train delivered our food.

This is how Sammy spent the day!

Breakfast with Santa

On Saturday, we had "Breakfast with Santa" at church. The pancakes were definately the hightlight for Andy. He wasn't real excited to sit on Santa's lap. Sammy didn't seem to mind (this year anyway).

Andy's Birthday Party!

On Saturday, Andy celebrated his third birthday with a couple of his little friends.

Miss Heather, his Kindermusik teacher, started the party off with some music. He spent a good deal of the hour running in a circle with his friends and there is nothing Andy loves more that that!

These are just a few highlights of the fun! (sorry they're long)

Next was pizza and chocolate cake. Andy claims that eating chocolate cake was his favorite part. Apparently, he takes after his mommy!

Before the grown-ups could take a bite of pizza, the kids were on to the gifts. Andy's friends were eager to "help" him open the goodies as only 3 year olds can.

It was two crazy hours of non-stop fun!
