happy birthday andrew!

Andrew turned 10 today!  It was a birthday he's been waiting for for a long time- something about being double digits :)  We always take the kids out for a birthday meal but this year we let Drewie take his new friends Y and T with him.  There was a snow storm coming in so we checked the weather and decided we'd try to stay in front of the worst of it.  We picked up his friends and headed to Applebees- Andrew's first time there!

These boys were so happy!  There was much happy chatter.  We loved hearing the friends talk about how much they like reading their Bible, how they have been telling their friends all about Jesus, how much fun they have been having at church and AWANA....  Andrew was joining right in and they all enjoyed each other's company.

After lunch we went across the way to Yogurt City and enjoyed some frozen yogurt.  The boys were so thankful and really tried hard to finish all their yogurt- they were very stuffed.  I questioned whether they really had yogurt in their cups as all I could see was toppings!

We brought the boys home and by that time the snow was coming down hard.  We had to drive home slowly as the roads hadn't been plowed yet, but we made it safely!  Drew opened his gift from us, we watched an old Disney movie with supper, and then had cake and ice cream (Brianna joined us on speaker phone).

Andrew is such a fun loving, happy, and mischievous boy.  He is well known by friends and strangers alike for his smile!  He is sensitive and sweet but tough as can be....100% boy!

Happy birthday, Andrew!  We love you and are so proud of you!
