Happy Birthday Andrew

So Andrew the oldest of our brood turned the bright old age of Five years old on Dec. 15, 2008. He asked for one specific thing for his Birthday dinner and that was a car cake. He lucked out and it looked a little like his favorite character from Cars.
He got a pretty good haul and was even excited about his new pajamas.
Andrew's great grandma Muir was there and he got to get a special hug from her.
He almost didn't want to tear some of the "Thomas and Friends" paper to get to the good stuff inside.
The present that took the cake was a little workman toolset with miniature work tools just like dads. (we've actually used the screwdriver a couple of times)
The tool kit came disguised as a fan and boy was he surprised when he finally got it open.
Grampa Muir gave him a spiderman flashlight that he managed to use enough that now the other two want one.
The look on his face when he got the bow and arrow almost made Mary want to take it back.
Oh and what would a five year old boy do if he didn't have snakes. Too bad his little sister likes them too so the old snake in the bed thing doesn't work.

We had a happy family celebration and can't believe how fast the kids are growing up.
