Birthday party

Drew had a wonderful birthday! We decided to keep it simple, and I borrowed a preschool table and chairs from the Y - we covered it will a Thomas the Train table cloth and had Thomas goody bags for the kids, Thomas napkins and plates, and a Thomas cake. I even laid out Thomas coloring pages on the table with crayons for the kids to color. Since we realized that Drew wasn't interested in eating birthday cake, I ordered a store one for everyone else to enjoy. And I made him some cupcakes that he could eat...but he still turned them down. Oh well! I didn't capture any pictures of him blowing out the candles, but he definitely knew what to do! As soon as the lit candles were in front of him, he blew them out! So, we relit them several times and he'd clap for himself! And he was singing, "haaaaaaapy, Dreeeeewwwww!" Here are the kids sitting down for cake and goody bags.

Drew enjoyed a sucker! He slobbered all over his shirt!Then all the kids helped Drew open presents. There's Leif, Drew, Sofia, Olivia and me. A couple kids weren't able to make it to the party, but this turned out to be a good number of little ones.

Olivia gave Drew several birthday hugs - very cute!!

Drew and Olivia got wound up playing with their Granddad. Here they are playing a little hide n' seek.

Then the next morning Chad helped Drew set up some of his new toys.

He was also excited to see the Thomas table was still set up! Here he is coloring one of the leftover pages.
