It was his second time bowling -- the first time was 5 months ago on Cape Cod. I am astonished looking back at the Cape picture how much younger he looked then. I think he grew about 2 inches this fall.
Besides bowling, the celebration had a Thomas the Train theme. I once again scoured the internet for a cake design that I could manage with my limited skills and minimal cake decorating tools:
My favorite part of the Thomas theme was "Pin the Funnel on Thomas." The blindfold cracks me up. The boys loved it and Andrew was happy that he got to mimic a party game that he read about in The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Birthday. Apparently this has been a very influential book on him -- he recently subjected his aunt and uncle to a round of musical chairs in our dining room because it had looked like so much fun in the book.
His big present from us was a new bicycle. We managed to find a brief window between snow storms and deep freezes to try it out this week. The best part about it is it comes with a little tool kit mounted on the front to tune up your bike. Andrew was very diligent about checking his tire pressure and tightening up several bolts.
