Andrew and Christine's 1st Hockey Game

My dad got us tickets to the Blazers Hockey game while we were in OKC over Thanksgiving. Christine and Andrew both got a kick out of the game.

playing with his new toys..

Here are a couple of toys that Andrew got at his party. We have slowly been getting them out.

This is the baseball game that Ben, Sasha, and the kids got him. He won't use the bat though. He thinks its more fun to hit the ball with his hands.

He is very curious about the guitar.


He is really not sure about Elmo. He trys to knock him over when he starts to laugh and move.

Andrew's Birthday Party

Andrew's party was held on November 17, 2007 from noon - 3:00 pm. It was held at our friends Coffee shop/Pub.
Here's the tent set up and ready for the party. It did rain at his party, but we were prepared.

This is the autographed picture frame for people to sign.

after a quick clothes change, it was time for presents. These are just a couple of the gifts that he got. He is truly loved, blessed, and spoiled by our friends and family. thanks :-)

Tony and Laura got him his own guitar. We have the Wii Guitar Hero game and he always wants to play with the guitar.

Uncle Michael, Aunt Annie, and Thomas got him the alphabet pal.

His first Winnie the Pooh from Uncle Doug and Aunt Jewell.

He got the new TMX Elmo from Nana, Papa, and Mammie. He really loved the paper though.

Clapping and thanking everyone for the wonderful gifts.

Time for the pinata. This is a tradition for Desi's side of the family, so we thought it was fitting for his 1st birthday party.

Christine taking a swing at it.

Andrew and daddy trying it out.

Christine tyring again after everyone else had a chance.

Isabella was the lucky one that broke it.. the kids getting their candy and treats.

Andrew passed out after a long day....

A friend made Andrew a Winne the Pooh bib, I totally forgot about it. But I thought it was fitting after a long day...

Thanks again to everyone that helped out and for making his party such a huge success. There are a couple of people that we would like to thank. To my mom and Desi, thanks again for all that you did in setting up, taking down, etc. Connie, for letting us use your tent, since it did end up raining. Ben and Sasha, thanks for letting us use your place for his party.
