Andrew Turns 5!

Andrew kicked off his fifth birthday by taking donuts to daycare for breakfast. He continued his celebration at his preschool's Halloween party. He took Avenger cupcakes and was excited to have several Super Hero games and decorations as part of the celebration. 

After trick-or-treating, he requested pizza for dinner and then had a cupcake. There was a much-anticipated pogo stick unwrapped from Aunt Tim and Aunt Ann. Matt and Cailtin brought him some books and a movie. Aunt Sheila surprised him and gave him a special new shirt and a video game. Mom and Dad welcomed Hulk in to the arsenal of super heroes at our house. Grandma and Grandpa Todd gave Andrew a month of tumbling class. Maama and Papa S. gave him a very special tractor that little boys in our family get on their fifth birthday. It is a replica of one of the first ones that they owned together.

We gave Andrew a choice of things to do for his birthday party and he was quick to choose indoor mini golf. Taking five 5-year-olds glow-in-the-dark mini golfing may have been insane, but they really were fun! The kids had a good time and then we wrapped up with some cake and gifts. His guests were Hylah, Weston, Hunter (all from daycare) and Claire Kuipers. Aunt Caitlin and Uncle Matt golfed with Jeremiah. Kelson and Levi played their own little games, as well.
