Andrew is 9 years old. I can't believe how quickly time flies. Andrew decided that this year he would go bowling with family for his party. We alternate family and friend parties every other year. This was his year to have a family party. We went to Big Al's for bowling. It was pretty fun. I think the kids had a blast. We went out to The Rock for pizza afterwards. We all stuffed ourselves. Andrew wanted a soccer cake this year. He has really gotten serious about soccer and so that was the theme. I had Costco do the cake, my first one that I haven't decorated for him ever. It felt kind of weird not doing the decorating. Andrew was pretty easy to shop for this year. All he had on his list was gift cards to buy books, a Star Wars trilogy, and some other random things. He wanted to buy a bunch of Warriors series books. There are about 20 books in the series so he needed lots of gift cards. It is nice that he is out of the toy phase, but it makes it a little more difficult to find something that he really wants. We also spent much of the day shopping for gifts and wrapping gifts for the family that we were sponsoring for Christmas. It was a nice thing to do but truth be told, I think Andrew wanted a little more attention for himself. The day after his birthday, Andrew broke his arm so I guess this might be a rough year.

Aw, what a cutie! I find as the kids get older the gifts get more expensive!
