Birthday #2 for January is in the books!  (And boy, I'm one tired momma!)  However, Andrew had a great day celebrating with some school friends, playing hard, eating cake, competeing in a Mario Kart Wii & Beyblades tourney and more. . .   We live on such a great street that they could play outside and shoot Nerf guns, ride rollerbaldes/scooters/bikes, and throw paper airplanes/footballs.  It was wonderful to watch them burn off all the energy.  When the sun started to go down, we headed inside to have some Mario time on the "big screen"/projector and try a beyblades tournament.  After a quick bit of pizza, parents arrived to haul off their children.  And I collapsed on the couch:-)

| Andrew's friend, David, took him to a Monster truck rally last weekend while Anika was celebrating her birthday.  So Andrew HAD to have a Monster truck cake -- this is supposed to be Captain USA, his favorite. |
