Happy Birthday Andrew!

Andrew turned 6 on Tuesday! He had a special day that started with presents and ended with a birthday party. He got to have one of his favorite meals of cheese ravioli for supper then 6 friends came over for the celebration! Andrew helped organize everything about his party and he had an "announcement" at the beginning of the party saying in a very formal and serious voice, "This is my party and we are going to have fun." Andrew decided on bike races down the hill in front of our house, pin the tail on the donkey and hitting a pinata as the games to entertain his guests. We also decorated cupcakes and had a book/puzzle exchange. I believe that everyone did have fun and not just because Andrew said that they had to!

We interviewed Andrew for his birthday so I thought I would share his answers with you. He's going to love this when he's 16 to know all of this about him a decade before...
