Fun Times With Family

This week in Mississippi has been full of fun opportunities to spend with family.  Andrew has really enjoyed himself.  (So has Mommy...see the next post)  Here are Andrew and my nephew, Alex taking a break from the bouncy house with their cool juice cups.
On Saturday the Ladner side of the family got together at Grandma's house for Gumbo.  Drew's aunt Monica from Arizona was in town.  Andrew had so much fun playing outside on the playground.
Andrew spinning with Aden and Breeley.  The loved this thing!
Riding the monster tricycle with Grandad.
After church on Sunday, we had a quick birthday party for Granddad that consisted of singing "Happy Birthday" and blowing out the candles on the German chocolate cake that I made him.  Granddad had some help from Alex.


Andrew liked the yummy icing.
Shortly after singing to Granddad, we went over to Drew's Uncle Kevin's house to celebrate the birthdays of 3 of their children:  Leigh 21, Wes 16, and Christian 1.   We got to see most of the Haas side of the family.  After eating 3/4 of a HUGE bowl of Gumbo, Andrew spend most of the rest of the afternoon playing in the gigantic pile of sand!

He did take a break to play with Christian's golf set.

For the most part.....we just ate, and ate, and ate!  The food was delicious.  Here are Amy (my sister-in-law) and Nana (Drew's Aunt) eating crawfish.

Other activities of the day included: baseball, Simon says, four wheeler rides, and a skype call from Drew!  I took my computer to the party in hopes that we would catch Drew online and we did.  So he got to see all of his family.

Holy cow! Busy busy! How fun! The cake looked fabulous, it's my mom's ultimate favorite cake EVER! But you HAVE to make the icing from scratch! (I've cheated before though, shhhhh!) Andrew looks like he had a great time!
